« Venus surprised in the bath », Carrara marble sculpture, late 19th century

Dimensions:
Width: 12'' ⅝  32cm
Height: 18'' ⅞  48cm
Depth: 9''   23cm

Origin:
19th century.

Status:
Good condition.

This beautiful sculpture made of Carrara marble resting on a rectangular wood base was made in the last decades of the 19th century.
It depicts a naked young lady that could be the goddess Venus, sat on a rock. No element comes to disrupt the sobriety of the sculpture, the goddess in her birthday suit and with the hair attached shows an impassive face in the Classical greek sculptures. On the other hand, the position of her body shows her hunched and hiding her breast with her right hand, letting us think she could have been surprised in a intimate moment.
