Fluffy, the dog, I'm guessing; and, Dovey, the dove, are shown in this watercolor on ivory miniature. The painting was commissioned by Alexandra, Princess of Wales (later Queen Alexandra), by whom it was given to Princess Victoria of Wales as a Christmas gift in 1900.
The painting is the work of Mrs. Gertrude Massey, Née Seth (fl. 1898–1911), and is inscribed: FLUFFY & DOVEY.
