Artist: Johann Gottfried Schadow
Date: 1817
Size: 13 x 33 cm
Museum: Alte Nationalgalerie (Berlin, Germany)
Technique: Sculpture
A tall female figure turns her head over her shoulder, revealing her mature physical form. As a companion piece to this figure, Schadow made a contrasting figure of a youth at a sacrificial stone. Both figures are energetically formed, with similarly finely worked bodies and rather sketchier facial features, hands and curled hair: these parts would have been refined in the planned, but never executed, full-size versions. The rhythmic outlines of these two related figures are set against non-specific indications of drapery.
