Queen Louise of Prussia c. 1799 - 1821

Johann Gottfried Schadow's "Queen Louise of Prussia" is a Neoclassical bust of the queen, sculpted between 1799 and 1821. It depicts Louise in a simple but elegant dress, with a delicate lace collar and her hair styled in a loose, flowing fashion, characteristic of the era. This sculpture is a testament to Schadow's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, as the bust conveys a sense of grace, dignity, and intelligence.
