A view from the south of the castle of Waldleiningen, set in the wooded, hilly countryside of the Odenwald in Bavaria. Originally a small hunting castle some fifteen miles south of Amorbach, Waldleiningen was restored and much enlarged between 1828 and 1842 for Queen Victoria’s half-brother, Charles, Prince of Leiningen. This picture was probably based on a larger picture in the Leningen collection which was painted by N. Berkhout in 1863. It was given to the Queen by the Prince of Leningen at Christmas 1863.
