From left:

Winter by Emil Wolff; Achilles by Christian Friedrich Tieck; Hermes by Emil Wolff, Eva and her Children by Adolf Brütt; Sleeping Shepherd Boy by Adolf von Hildebrand; Eva and her Children by Reinhold Begas; Nude Youth (Paris) by Artur Volkmann.

Empty plinth is for Johann Gottfried Schadow’s plaster working model of Princesses Luise and Friederike of Prussia (Doppelstandbild der Prinzessinnen Luise und Friederike von Preussen), which is being restored. The bust in the glass case on the left is Friederike in terracotta while the second one has an early self-portrait by Johann Gottfried Schadow.
