Scott had the good fortune to attend Central High School in Philadelphia, where his Graphics Professor was the noted portraitist Rembrandt Peale. Scott graduated with a degree in Pharmacy in 1846 but moved to Kentucky by 1856, where he studied with Edward Troye, one of the first American painters to specialize in animal subjects. Scott painted horses for the most important early turfmen in Kentucky including Dr. Elisha Warfield, John M. Clay, James Grinstead, and Major B.G. Thomas, as well as for clients around the United States. The Civil War disrupted Scott's animal portrait commissions. During the war he served as a Union Hospital Steward with the 21st Kentucky Infantry Regiment. After the war ended, he moved to Pennsylvania and became a writer and correspondent for the sporting journal, "Turf, Field, and Farm". He eventually returned to Kentucky where he died in 1888. Scott is buried in Lexington, Kentucky at the Military Cemetery. (Sources: AskArt: The Artists' Bluebook and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art).

- Attributed to Rembrandt Peale (American
Attributed to Rembrandt Peale (American 1778-1860) "Portrait of Mary Davenport Kimball" oil on canvas inscribed label en verso 21 in. x 17 in. unframed. Provenance: The collection of the sitter Mary Campbell Davenport Kimball; to her daughter Anna Harper Kimball Lex; to her daughter Frederica Lex Pearson Abbott; to her daughter Mary Frederica Pearson Monahan; to the current consignor. Note: Working in the Neoclassical style of artists such as Jacques-Louis David Rembrandt Peale followed in his father's footsteps as a portraitist. Among his sitters are such notable figures as George Washington Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall; however his main clientele were wealthy patrons from Philadelphia Baltimore Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas. In his portraits of our nation's leaders and its citizens Peale infuses dignity emotion and a sense of gravitas which can be noted in the current lot a portrait of Mary Davenport Kimball (1814-1868) wife of Stephen Kimball (1807-1870). The Kimballs were a wealthy Philadelphia family with three children George Peabody Kimball Edward Stephen Kimball and Anna Harper Kimball; in the 1870 United States Federal Census the Kimball children having inherited their father's estate are listed as living in the 24th district of Philadelphia. Edward Kimball is known to have enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania in 1860 although he left during his first year (most likely to join the war effort). This lovely portrait of their mother Mary illustrates many of Peale's strongest qualities in portrait painting. The indistinct background with a halo of light around the sitter's head the emotional expression in the eyes and the red heart-shaped lips all bear a resemblance to Peale's portrait of his daughters Rosalba and Eleanor in his 1826 painting The Sisters.

- Portrait of Paul Revere After Peale
Portrait of Paul Revere After Peale Oil on Canvas Early 19th century American. A portrait of Paul Revere either after the American portraitist Charles Willson Peale or his son Rembrandt Peale unsigned with inscription Paul Revere 1779-1780 C.W.P. on verso and additional label with inscription This portrait of Lieutent Colonel Paul Revere was set for by Lieutenent Colonel Revere of ? 1779-1780 and was painted by the painter C.W.P. for by Charles Warren / William Sticney glued to verso; 68 x 54 in.Although this work is not by Charles Willson Peale as the back inscription alleges it seems highly likely that this work was done after Peale. Neither Charles nor his son Rembrandt ever painted a portrait of Paul Revere. However the portrait of Revere seems to be modeled after the 1772 Militia portrait of Washington housed at Washington & Lee University Lexington VA. There is a noted similarity between Peale's portrait head of Washington and this example of Revere's. Condition: Large hole in top section of painting.
