New portrait of the Queen and her dogs commissioned to mark birthday milestone

Acclaimed Welsh artist, Nathan Wyburn, created the incredibly detailed portrait in carpet, using Dr. Beckmann’s hugely popular Pet Stain & Odour Remover, with the help of mud and other outdoor stains, he used the specialist stain remover as a painting brush to create the piece of ‘carpet art’.

The huge 3 x 4 metre portrait was commissioned on the back of a lockdown spike in new pet ownership during the pandemic, resulting in a surge in demand of Dr. Beckmann’s popular pet stain product.

In honor of Her Majesty the Queen’s official birthday on June 12th, cleaning and laundry experts, Dr. Beckmann have commissioned a new portrait of the monarch and her adorable dogs to mark the milestone.

Nathan, who rose to fame following his appearance on Britain’s Got Talent in 2011,

said: “Over the years, I’ve experimented with various household substances when creating pictures, so naturally I was more than happy to be asked to mark the occasion – quite literally – in celebration of the Queen’s birthday.

“As fun as it is using different items to create specific shapes, it isn’t easy to get the outcome you want, which is why I’m pleased to be using Dr. Beckmann’s Pet Stain and Odour Remover as my paintbrush to help remove the mud and make the perfect picture for such a special event.”

“It wasn’t an easy task, but I’m really pleased with the results and I think Her Majesty will be too - she clearly adores her dogs and was heartbroken when her corgi Fergus died earlier this year. So this should be a lovely reminder of happier times on her birthday. It’s a great way to celebrate a traditional figure with a modernised touch, I can absolutely see this hanging on the palace walls!”

Dr. Beckmann spokesperson, Susan Fermor, said: “After a tough year of postponed celebrations and toned-down festivities, we couldn’t be more excited to be celebrating such a momentous occasion in this way.

“We wanted to honour the Queen and her iconic dogs, so we commissioned Nathan to create this spectacular portrait because we knew that the marking of such an event required something innovative and exciting.

“The Queen’s unwavering devotion to her people (dogs included) and her country is something that should be celebrated, now more than ever after a very tough year for everyone, including Her Majesty.
