A pencil drawing, after Landseer's mural on a wall at Ardverikie Shooting-lodge. Two stags are shown amongst a herd of deer in a Highland landscape. One stag is shown lying in the grass in front with the other shown standing on a rock behind. Faint drawings of deer are shown in the background. Inscribed lower right: VR copied from Landseer's drawing on the wall of the small [?Luncheon] room at Ardverickie [sic] Sept: 17, 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 17 September 1847, Queen Victoria describes how "After breakfast I finished my sketches after the drawings of stags on the wall". 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.
