Picture of the Week - SYW “Prussia Forever “ Cavalry Charge

 






The famous painting by Lady Butler depicting the charge of the Scots Greys cavalry regiment at Waterloo inspired me to recreate the scene using Minden Prussian Hussars. The dynamic action poses that sculptor Richard Ansell created really capture the sense of movement that is akin to Lady Butler’s rendering of the cavalry charge.

  1. I prefer yours to the original! Go you roguish Prussians, do you want to live forever?

  2. They certainly are very dynamic figures.....but where are the infantrymen, clinging to the stirrup leathers a la Gordon Highlanders?!
