Sold at Auction: Henry Scott

British and American clippers with billowing sails are the main subjects of artist Henry Scott's paintings. His eagerness to capture the beauty of these vessels on the high seas afforded Scott honorary membership of the International Association of Master Mariners. Painter Henry Scott was born in 1911 into a family of mariners dating back to the 18th century, and by age 11, he had combined his love of the sea with art and was sketching seascapes.

Artist Henry Scott's maritime paintings for sale included the commissioned 1970 oil, Morning Cloud, which was owned and skippered at the time by The Right Honorable Edward Heath, M.P. Another of Scott's paintings, Steel Ship Cambrian King, sold for more than 160 percent above its estimated value in 2017. Find your sea legs by purchasing classic maritime paintings from Invaluable.
