Portrait of Sir Walter Scott, 1st Bt, by Sir Edwin Landseer, c.1824. This oil painting depicts Scott seated at his desk, looking up from the act of writing. He is surrounded by books and papers. The sword of Montrose, one of his most treasured historical relics, is lying over the manuscript sheets in the foreground.
