EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of John Scollay, a prominent figure from the 18th century. Painted by renowned artist John Singleton Copley, this oil on canvas print showcases Scollay in all his glory. Dressed in a light gray suit, he exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The composition is meticulously crafted, with Scollay's right forearm resting on a large legal book, symbolizing his intellect and knowledge. In the foreground, we see a partitioned writing desk adorned with a pen and ink set, suggesting his involvement in important matters of law or governance. Scollay's attire includes a white bobbed chin-length wig that was fashionable during that era. This accessory adds to his refined appearance and reflects the customs of the time. Acquired by Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA from The Old Print Shop through museum purchase, this artwork has become an invaluable addition to their collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of John Scollay but also as a testament to Copley's exceptional talent as an artist. As we gaze upon this painting today, we are transported back to the 18th century - witnessing firsthand the grace and dignity embodied by individuals like John Scollay.
