Product information "Johann Gottfried Schadow: Sculpture 'Luise and Friederike' (original size), artificial marble"
An unusual double wedding took place in 1793. The 18-year-old Princess Luise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz married the Crown Prince of Prussia, Frederick William III, and the 16-year-old Friederike married his younger brother Louis. The occasion for Joh. Gottfried Schadow to create this graceful sculpture of the two sisters. The marble group of the Prussian princesses, the first life-size double statue of classicism, is the most graceful example of Schadow's style, which was both classically idealistic and true to life, and set the trend for the 19th century.

Height 55 cm, plinth size 28.5 x 19 x 3.5 cm. Weight approx. 9 kg.
