If not in perfect condition, this intimate portrait by the young artist is really intersting and charming.
The mention of it as a souvenir of an excursion to l'Estaque is interesting too. L'Estaque, near Marseille was a famous place for painters of the time such as Cezanne, Braque and Renoir who painted there the sea and shores. The young Georges Scott wanted to keep the souvenir of the excursion with his friend, but we have to think of the place by the gaze of the model contemplating it.
Georges Scott, or Scott de Plagnolle (his full name wasGeorges Bertin Scott de Plagnolle ), was born on June 10 1873 in Paris, he was a painter and illustrator.
He studied at the Alsatian School in Paris, where he drew a lot: “I have always drawn […]. My father was a painter and illustrator. I was born in a workshop ”. Fatherless in 1884, he studied at the Beaux-Arts, then was one of the pupils of Édouard Detaille, he was a member of French artists outside the competition in 1897.
Painter and illustrator, he worked for various periodicals, including Cocorico and L'Illustration where his first drawing was published on March 19, 1892 (“La catastrophe d'Anderlues”).
In 1911, the Minister of War Adolphe Messimy asked Scott and Detaille for studies to renovate the uniforms of the French Army: if their projects were not adopted, some were published in newspapers such as L'Illustration in March 1912 he covered as a war correspondent for the newspaper the First Balkan War, with the Bulgarian Army. He returned to Thrace inJuly 1913 for the Second Balkan War, but with the Greek Army, meeting King Constantine. In September 1913, on the occasion of the King of Greece's trip to Paris, he visited Scott in his studio to see the sketch of his equestrian portrait, completed in Athens in the spring of 1914.
During the summer of 1914, Scott was in Constantinople to paint the portrait of Djemal Pasha . When the mobilization was declared, he returned to Paris. Sent to the border with Alsace as a war correspondent, his first drawing, “On ne pas pas! », Appears in one of L'Illustration onAugust 8, 1914. Painter in the armed forces from 1916, he produced numerous plates representing the front, illustrations for postcards, posters for military recruitment and sketches for the theater in the armies. During the interwar period , he painted the portrait of the King of England George V and the equestrian portrait of Mussolini in 1926. He then covered the Spanish Civil War and the very beginning of the Second World War, until his last drawing published in the issue of December 30, 1939.
He was named Knight of the Legion of Honor on February 13, 1912, then promoted to officer on January 21, 1928.
He died in Paris on January 14 , 1943.
