• Notes

  portrait http://www.nmm.ac.uk/mag/pages/mnuExplore/PaintingDetail.cfm?ID=BHC3017 A half-length portrait slightly to the right in a blue coat and buff waistcoat, both edged with gold lace, the coat having a mariner's cuff. He wears a tie-wig. Scott was promoted by Admiral Thomas Mathews in August 1743, to be Captain of the 'Rochester', 50 guns, in Mathew's Mediterranean fleet. He was sent off on an independent service, and so missed the main action off Toulon in February 1744. Later in the year, he moved to the 'Essex', 70 guns, after her Captain, Norris, had been relieved to face a court martial. Artist Claude Arnulphy, the French-born artist worked exclusively as a portrait painter and spent most of his working life in Provence.
