The statue is "The Secret" and was sculpted by Gustav Eberlein in 1891.
Here is a picture of the whole statue.
Here it is via Google Street View.

Also see Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne sculpture for a master class in this. The impressions on the skin are so real.

There’s a different statue out there where a woman’s breasts are visible through “see through” cloth, but the whole thing is stone. Baffles me how the artist created that effect in stone.
