Prince Victor von Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Graf von Gleichen, was a favourite nephew of Queen Victoria, who first placed him in the Royal Navy. After serving in the Crimean War he left the Navy to study sculpture with William Theed. The Queen, convinced of his talent, later provided him with a studio and many commissions. This is one of his last pieces, completed shortly before his death.
