AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grand statue featuring the crowned goddess Aphrodite.
She is shown facing forward, dressed in a peplos whose folds extend to the feet, leaving one shoulder bare, arms open in a graceful gesture.
With her left arm, she raises a veil that completes her garment.
Her hair is swept back, secured by a crown, and frames her face while two long strands fall onto her shoulders.
The features are modeled in relief, the body is graceful, the proportions balanced. The face is relaxed, lips are fine and the nose straight.
An elegant statue with subtle charm.
