Man and Seal - Hamburg, Germany - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The poster of this Waymark does not speak German and Google Translate did not help in determining which of two Johann George Monckebergs were being honored here. The Father was a Senator and the son a famous doctor, researcher and professor. Dates on the monument refer to "1914-1926"... a year after the son's death...so, presumably the Doctor is the honoree. The street here is also named after him/them.

Anyway, this is the sculpture on the left side of the monument and it features a nude reclining man resting his arm on the head and back of a seal. The left side features a woman doing the same thing.
There is no information at the site indicating the artist or title. The date is presumbaly 1926.
The sculpture is in front of a distinctive Starbucks building.... which used to be the public hall.
