Ancient Roman, Empire Bronze Figure of Venus, 5.1 cm x 16.5 cm - Ex-Sotheby’s -Spanish Export Licence - Figure

Crowned by a crescent-shaped diadem, the gorgeous deity stands in contrapposto with her right leg bent at the knee and her weight gracefully shifted. Her left arm gently bends as her hand grazes her body, hovering over her sex, perhaps a gesture of modesty like the Venus Pudica, and her right hand extends out from her body in a welcoming pose. *Losses to middle finger of left hand Provenance: Ex-private Michigan, USA collection, acquired in 1985; ex-Royal Athena Galleries, New York, New York, USA; Ex-Sotheby’s, London, July 9, 1984, Lot 315; A. Gallery, USA, 2022 Exhibited: Exhibited in Picker Art Gallery, Colgate University and Ohio University Art Museum, 1985 to 1994/ Feriarte, IFEMA (Madrid, 12-20 November 2022) Statement seen by Catawiki. The seller guarantees that he is entitled to ship this lot. The seller will take care that any necessary permits will be arranged. The seller will inform the buyer about this if this takes more than a few days. According to Spanish legislation, items sent outside the European Union are subject to export taxes and will be added to the invoice, at the buyer's expense. These export fees are fixed on the final auction price and the tax rate is not applied directly on the total value of the item to be exported, but rather the different percentages by sections are applied to it: - Up to 6,000 euros: 5%. - From 6.001 to 60.000 euros: 10%. Due to Switzerland customs regulations about antiques over 100 years old, this lot cannot be sold to customers residing in Switzerland. #masterpieces
