Fermanagh, in 1924. He lived in France in 1938-39 and briefly in Dublin in 1940 before settling in England. He is one of the most famous of Irish artists, he exhibited widely throughout the world and has a major international reputation. He represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale, 1958, and at the Sao Paulo Bienal, 1961, where he was awarded the International Artist"s Prize. In 1938 Scott moved with his wife, Mary, to Pont-Aven in Brittany, to run the Pont-Aven School of Painting with Geoffrey Nelson. Scott was particularly interested in the association of the place with Gauguin and his followers, and among his models was an old woman who had sat in her youth for Gauguin. This woman, Marie Henry from Pouldu, is thought to be the subject of the current work.
