Impressive details
The prince, who died young, was a lieutenant in the infantry regiment of Baden, as demonstrated by his overcoat, military coat, and saber. In his hands, he holds a spray of roses. The detailed working of the fabric is especially impressive. At the front, the stone fabric bears the Baden coat of arms, finely worked and with a crown. Volz had a famous model: the tomb of Queen Luise of Prussia. The sculptor, Christian Daniel Rauch, created it in 1814 for the mausoleum at Charlottenburg Palace near Berlin. It was no wonder that the Prussian queen was used as an example, after all the prince's mother, Grand Duchess Luise von Baden, was a Prussian princess.
