Description from the seller

Opera: Sculpture
Material: White marble
Style: Grand Tour
Epoch: 19th century
Description: The work depicts an elegant Venus crouching during her bath, as she turns and, noticing the observer, tries to cover her chest and pubic region with her hands. The iconographic type, extremely classical and a model for Renaissance artists, has been reproduced by numerous artists over the centuries.
The sculptural line is very delicate, highlighting the gentle and relaxed shapes of the belly; the narrative of surprise is interesting: Venus discovers she has been caught naked but manages the gesture of modesty.
An almost studied elegance, confirmed by the lively and direct gaze toward the observer.
The shipping cost includes door-to-door shipping, packing in a custom wooden crate, and insurance
