The Stirrup Charge by Countess Feodora Gleichen
Page from The Sketch reporting on a sculpture by Countess Feodora Gleichen, based on a picture by Richard Caton Woodville drawn for the Illustrated London News.

Born Countess Feodora Georgina Maud von Gleichen, she was the eldest daughter of Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (a naval officer and sculptor and half-nephew of Queen Victoria) and his wife, Laura. In 1889, she and her two sisters, Valda and Helena, were bridesmaids to Princess Louise and the Earl of Fife. Lord Edward Gleichen, the distinguished soldier, was her brother. Gleichen studied art in her fathers studio at St Jamess and later with Alphonse Legros at the Slade School of Art. While maintaining her fathers studio she associated with leading artists such as Sir George Frampton, sculptor of the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. She completed her studies in Rome in 1891 and regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1892 and at the New Dudley Gallery. A bas-relief and hand-mirror in jade and bronze won her a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1900. In 1917, Gleichen was granted the rank and style of a daughter of a marquess by Royal Warrant of Precedence following the reforms of the family names of George V. She died, unmarried, in 1922 at her grace and favour apartment in St Jamess Palace. Shortly before her death, she was awarded the L

This photograph print depicts Countess Feodora Gleichen's sculpture, "The Stirrup Charge," inspired by a picture by Richard Caton Woodville that was originally published in the Illustrated London News. Feodora Georgina Maud Gleichen (1861-1922) was a renowned British sculptress, specializing in figures and portrait busts, as well as a designer of decorative objects. Born as Countess Feodora Georgina Maud von Gleichen, she was the eldest daughter of Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a naval officer and sculptor, and his wife, Laura. In 1889, Feodora and her sisters, Valda and Helena, served as bridesmaids at the wedding of Princess Louise and the Earl of Fife. Her distinguished brother, Lord Edward Gleichen, was a soldier. Feodora studied under her father in his studio at St. James and later with Alphonse Legros at the Slade School of Art. She continued her studies in Rome in 1891 and began exhibiting her work at the Royal Academy in 1892 and the New Dudley Gallery. In 1900, Feodora received a bronze medal for her bas-relief and hand-mirror in jade and bronze at the Exposition Universelle. In 1917, she was granted the rank and style of a daughter of a marquess by Royal Warrant of Precedence following the reforms of the family names of George V. Feodora died unmarried in 1922 at her grace and favor apartment in St. James Palace.
