Hermann Göring, a statue of a female archer, awarded as a gift to the Reich Marschal Bronze figure of a standing woman drawing a bow. Base inscribed with the artist's signature "", on the opposite side the foundry name "Aktien Gesellschaft Gladenbeck. Berlin Friedrichshagen." Green-streaked marble pedestal, the front bearing a silver presentation plaque with the name "Hermann Göring". Height 60 cm. Professor Ferdinand Lepcke (1866 - 1909), master pupil of Fritz Schaper at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts, received the Great State Award in 1891 and became professor in 1897. There is also a larger version of this figure, of which several casts were made. These statues of the "female archer" were erected in various German towns such as Wilhelmshaven, Coburg, and Berlin-Nikolassee (Hohenzollernplatz). She even became the landmark of the city of Bydgoszcz (formerly known as Bromberg), Poland. The hunting enthusiast Göring probably saw in this statue Diana, the Roman Goddess of Hunting.,
