'Puck' - Baby JCM: Sketch by Sir William Dyce of baby James Clerk Maxwell.
Dyce was the brother of Isabella Cay (née Dyce), wife of Robert Dundas Cay (brother of JCM's mother- Frances Clerk Maxwell née Cay).
This sketch has JCM posed with what appears to be a stuffed toy owl, clearly based on Dyce's 1825 drawing of Shakespeare's character, Puck, from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (which showed Puck hugging an owl).
