in his second solo exhibition at the Leger Galleries in 1945. Following the end of hostilities in August of that year, demobilisation was slow to occur and Scott did not take up his brushes again until 1946.

details above) states, 'All that is known about this undated painting is that it was acquired early on by the publisher and translator Roger Senhouse. It has remained in the Senhouse family. Senhouse may have purchased it through Gimpel Fils as the gallery's name is inscribed on the bottom stretcher bar and also on the back of the frame. This may tie up with a record in Scott's diary for 1949 which reads, on 27 July, "Received £35 Gimpel Still Life", and on 16 August, "Received cheque Gimpel £28-8-4". The subject and composition suggest a date of 1946 (see Cyclamen, cat.no.97). A label on the back is inscribed "William Scott/Still Life", but as the writing is not in Scott's hand, the title remains unconfirmed.' (Ed.
