Portrait of Thomas Chalmers Scott

This portrait of Thomas Chalmers Scott, father of John Galloway Scott and immigrant to Canada from Scotland, is in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario.  It was painted by William Sawyer in 1850. Oil on canvas.   Thomas Chalmers Scott was a very charismatic and passionate speaker and lay preacher.  It's interesting to see a family portrait from several generations back--there's a lot of intelligence in his face, I think.
