His works spanned various genres and mediums, showcasing his versatility as an artist. One of his notable creations is "Melpomene and Thalia, " a sculpture completed between 1823-26. This masterpiece captures the essence of tragedy and comedy through the personification of these two Greek muses.

The painting showcases his introspective nature while highlighting his skillful brushwork. It serves as a testament to his self-awareness as an artist. Another work that exemplifies Schadow's brilliance is the night view of Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor).

One touching portrait by Schadow is that of the Rabe Children: Hermann aged 14 years old and Edmond.

"The Thoughtful Captain, " created in 1822, showcases another facet of Schadow's artistic prowess—his ability to convey emotions through sculptures.

In "Woman Alone, " part of the series called "The Dancing Pair Vigano, " Schadow captures the vulnerability and solitude of a woman.
