A pencil drawing, after Landseer's mural on the dining room wall at Ardverikie Shooting-lodge. A stag is shown in the centre, being attacked by two dogs. One dog is shown lying at the stag's feet to the left and the other is shown standing to the right. Highland hills are shown in the background. Inscribed lower right: VR copied from Landseer's drawing on the Dining room at Ardverikie Sunday - Sept: 5 - 1847 - Queen Victoria visited Scotland with her family during August and September 1847, touring the Western Isles and then staying at Ardverikie Shooting-Lodge. The Queen left Osborne house with Prince Albert and their two eldest children on 11 August 1847 and sailed up the West coast of England and around Wales to Scotland. They arrived at Ardverikie on 21 August, where they stayed until 17 September 1847. In her journal entry of 5 September 1847, Queen Victoria describes how she " amused myself by trying to copy Landseer's fine drawings on the wall, & succeeded fairly well with the stag". Ardverikie House was destroyed by fire in October 1873. Queen Victoria's drawings, along with one set of photographs, are now the only records of the appearance of Landseer's wallpaintings.
