He is recognised mainly for his exquisite animal paintings, including the famous Monarch of the Glenn. His most notable work came in the form of the iconic lion sculptures which sit at the base of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe miniature is preserved behind a glass window in a large, round 18ct gold gallery bordered with blue enamel and eight sparkling old mine cut diamonds, totalling approx. 1.2ct.
