Princesses Monument

The Princesses Monument (German: Prinzessinnen-Denkmal) or Princesses Group (Prinzessinnengruppe) is a sculpture by the German artist Johann Gottfried Schadow showing the sisters Louise and Frederica, princesses of Prussia. Schadow first produced busts of the sisters and then between 1795 and 1797 produced the full-length life-size group, initially in plaster and then in marble. The initial plaster version now stands in the Schinkelmuseum whereas the original marble group is in the Alte Nationalgalerie.

Artists and the public praised the work, but it was criticised by Louise's husband and fell into neglect for ninety years. It is now held to be a masterwork of early Berlin neoclassicism alongside the same artist's quadriga for the Brandenburg Gate (1793).
