Friedrich Wilhelm Keyl was Landseer’s only pupil, and painted a number of sensitive animal portraits for Queen Victoria. This chalk drawing of the Skye Terrier, Boz, was made in preparation for an oil painting commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1861, the year that the Queen inherited the dog, and three years before Boz’s death. This object was displayed at the Charles Dickens Reception at Buckingham Palace, 2012.
