| Wat Porcelain plaque painted with enamels. Before 1889. Crown Copyright The Royal Collection Image Courtesy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II |
This work of enamel and porcelain was modeled after an anonymously taken photograph of Queen Victoria’s terrier, Wat. Intended as a decorative plaque to be displayed on a wall or a small stand, the painting shows Wat resting on the grass. A smooth-haired Fox Terrier, Wat wears the collar which the Queen specifically chose for him.
The plaque was produced by Carl Schmidt of the Royal Berlin Porcelain Manufactory (1763-1918) and dates before 1889.
