Boz, a Skye terrier, is depicted sitting on a rug in the garden at Frogmore, Windsor. Frogmore House and the lake can be seen in the background. Queen Victoria wrote of Frogmore: 'all is peace and quiet and you only hear the hum of the bees, the singing of the birds'. The Queen had given Boz to her mother, the Duchess of Kent, in 1856. He died suddenly in 1864 and a statuette of him was made for the Queen and erected at Frogmore.
