Rudolf Geyling (1839-1904)
The Family of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII (1841-1910) 1876
-
A family group. Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, stands with his arms folded behind Princess Alexandra who is seated, in day dress, with Princess Maud and a bouquet of flowers on her lap. On the left stands Prince Albert Victor in highland dress, holding a gun. In the background is a view of Sandringham.
This work is a copy by Geyling of an original by Von Angeli which is in the Royal Collection (RCIN 402328). It was recorded in the Catalogue (1877) of the collections of the Prince and Princess of Wales, for whom it had presumably been painted but at the Queen's expense: Geyling was paid £251 5s for the copy in the third quarter of 1876, as a present. In 1902 it was brought down from Sandringham, where it had hung over the mantelpiece in the Saloon, to replace the original in the Dining-Room at Osborne. -
