Descripción
The Capitoline Venus is a type of statue of Venus, specifically one of several Venus Pudica (modest Venus) types (others include the Venus de' Medici type), of which several examples exist. The type ultimately derives from the Aphrodite of Cnidus. The Capitoline Venus and her variants are recognisable from the position of the arms—standing after a bath, Venus begins to cover her breasts with her right hand, and her groin with her left hand.
Notes from auction:
Standing with the weight on her left leg, two strands of hair falling over her shoulders, the support in the form of Eros riding a dolphin; no restorations.
W~ £120,000 - £180,000
