Inscribed lower right: VR from a sketch done Oct: 6 - 1851. While staying at Balmoral, Queen Victoria made many expeditions to local beauty spots. On 6 October 1851, the Queen went for a drive around the Balmoral Estate with some of her daughters. Queen Victoria records the drive in her journal entry of that day, describing how they "stopped, for me to do a sketch of the "snowclad top" of Loch Nagar".
