WILLIAM SCOTT, R.A.
1913-1989
POEM FOR A JUG, NO. 19
signed and erroneously dated 90 on the reverse
oil on canvas
unframed: 81.5 by 91.5cm.; 32 by 36in.
framed: 84.5 by 95cm.; 33¼ by 37¼in.
Scott erroneously dated the painting on the reverse to 1990, though he made the work in 1980 and tried to correct his dating. The catalogue raisonné states: ‘The date in the signature is an error on Scott’s part. He appears to have first written ‘80’ and then changed the ‘8’ to ‘9’.’(Sarah Whitfield (ed.), William Scott: Catalogue Raisonné of Oil Paintings, Vol. 4, 1969-1989, Catalogue Numbers 657-935, Thames & Hudson in association with the William Scott Foundation, London, 2013, cat. no.887, p.269)
