Please read some interesting information about Artist according to different sources.

Fedor Encke was a German painter who was born in 1851 in Berlin, Germany. The younger brother of Erdmann Encke who was a sculptor, Encke was the illegitimate grandson of King Frederick Wilhelm II of Prussia and Mistress Wilhelmine Encke, Countess of Lichtenau. Fedor studied under Karl Gussow in Berlin and then went on to study in Rome and Paris. Although he set up a studio in Berlin during the 1880s, he seems to have traveled regularly between Paris and New York painting many American Society sitters, including President Theodore Roosevelt.
