Ernst Julius Hähnel ließ sich 1838 auf Betreiben von Gottfried Semper in Dresden nieder, der ihn mit dem Entwurf einiger Figuren für die Hofoper beauftragte. Im Jahre 1848 wurde er zum Professor an die Dresdner Kunstakademie berufen. Seine imposant anmutenden Darstellungen sind durch eine ausgeprägte neoklassizistisch-realistische Formensprache gekennzeichnet. Die Meissener Manufaktur formte Hähnels Figuren in kleinerem Maßstab in Porzellan aus.
