As with many of his pictures, this painting has been inscribed by the artist 'Animal painter to the Queen'. Whitford started life as an excise officer but when he was found guilty of embezzlement he took up animal portraiture. Queen Victoria owned some of his pictures in her collection at ShawFarm, Windsor.
