	Bust of Sir Walter Scott c.1822
		Chantrey’s bust of Walter Scott was considered to be the best contemporary likeness of the writer, perhaps owing to an unusual circumstance in its creation.
		Uniquely the sittings for this bust were requested by the sculptor rather than the subject, and on completion Chantrey presented Scott with the marble as a token of his respect and friendship.
		The present version can be distinguished from many of the repetitions by the quality of the carving and by, for example, the incision of the pupils and irises, which are blank in some versions, such as those in the later autograph repetition in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.
