Septimus Scott
£850.00
Portrait of a Boy by Septimus Scott (1889–1965). A sensitively painted study of a young boy in a blue outfit or uniform, executed in oil on paper-laid canvas.
The work is inscribed with the word ‘rough’ above the artist’s signature, suggesting that it was an early concept or preparatory design for one of Scott’s celebrated commercial posters.
Painted in the same expressive, narrative style that characterises his advertising and illustration work, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the artist’s creative process. Although showing its age — with visible tears, creases, and areas of surface wear — the portrait retains exceptional charm and presence, embodying Scott’s draughtsmanship work.
