This sculpture depicts Shakespeare's famous Juliet Capulet from his play Romeo & Juliet as a young woman, standing and wearing a long thin gown. The bronze work is lifesized...and the figure's right breast is a different hue due to people touching the work.
A plaque at the site reads:

"DIESES BILDNES DER
JULIA
WURDE VON DER CASSA DI
RISPARDMIO DI VERONA VICENZA
E. BELLUNO DER STADT MUENCHEN.
ANLAESSLICH IHRES GEMEINSAM
MIT DER STADT SPARKASSE MUENCHEN
BEGANGEN 150 AEHRIGEN
BESTEHENS GESTIFTET
SEPTEMBER 1974

That whiles Verona by that name is known
There shall no figure at such rate be set
As that of true and faithful Juliet

Romeo & Juliet Act V Scene III"

The German portion of which this website (visit link) translates as:

"The statue of Juliet was donated to the Münchner Stadtsparkasse by the Cassa di Risparmio bank of Verona in Italy in occation of the 150th anniversary of the bank 1974." and adds: "The statue was built by Nereo Costantini."

The poster of this Waymark could not find a current webpage for the Bank... but there seem to be references to the Bank perhaps having merged with others and perhaps it is now known by a different name.
