A watercolour showing the head of a dead stag. The stag is shown facing left with its antlers pointing upwards. Inscribed below: Royal Stag killed by Albert on Craig Daign [sic] Sept: 19 - 1854. VR sketched 20/9 54.

Deer stalking was a favourite pastime of Prince Albert, especially while staying at Balmoral. On 19 September 1854 Queen Victoria accompanied her husband on a stalking expedition on Craig Doin, drawing his prizes the next day.

This drawing is one of a series of drawings from an album (RCIN 2116979) of photographs and drawings of stags shot by Prince Albert.
