About the piece

Painted in 1838 for Queen Victoria, this masterpiece by Edwin Landseer captures the distinct personalities of her beloved pets: the deerhounds Hector and Nero, the spaniel Dash, and Lory the parrot. The work showcases Landseer's extraordinary ability to render textures—from the sleek coat of the spaniel to the wiry fur of the deerhounds and the luminous feathers of the lory—within a lush, dramatic interior.
