Canadian artist and illustrator (1887–1980)
Adam Sherriff Scott was a Canadian painter, often of portraits and historical or genre scenes, and a muralist. As a result of his ability to depict vivid historical scenes after considerable research in books, he received commissions for portraits, posters, murals and paintings that were reproduced in history books and calendars. Among these were paintings for calendar illustrations of Canadian historical scenes for the Hudson's Bay Company Calendars. These paintings were auctioned in 2025 at a special sale caused by the closing of the company.
