Sir Walter Scott, the most celebrated Scots author of the nineteenth century, sat to Colvin Smith in 1828. The artist himself made at least fifteen replicas of his painting. This version was made for Dr Thomas Hughes, Canon of St Paul's, to be presented to Dr Edward Copleston, Bishop of Llandaff and was delivered before 16 July 1829.
