Johann Heinrich Daniel Kaehler (* 22. Februar 1804; † 5. November 1878) begann his wonderful study of a female back in Berlin. But he left Berlin in 1826 and it remained unfinished. His teacher Johann Gottfried Schadow (* 20. Mai 1764 in Berlin; † 27. Januar 1850 in Berlin) finished it in 1826 and therefore its known under his name.

(The well known quadiga on the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin is also Schadows work.)

Today she is placed at the National Gallery in Berlin.

Usually you will find her backview, with this link you will find also a picture of her most unknown frontside:

The young woman is not bulk or plump, she has the soft round shape, preferred at her time, a soft round belly and a small breast.
I gave her the skin of Danaes London; as the modell will have been a native Berlin girl of the period, she might have looked similar.
