The quality of the marble plays well with the light, letting shadows appear, highlighting the shapes of this beautiful callipygian Venus.
She is accompanied by a dolphin at her feet ridden by two winged putti who seem to be playing with the latter.
The statue has been cleaned while leaving its old patina.
Some missing fingers were redone in the 20th century, one is missing on the left hand.

A beautiful souvenir of the Grand Tour, a great classic of antiquity.
The Venus de Medici is a famous Greek marble sculpture representing the goddess Aphrodite (Venus for the Romans). It is a copy from the 1st century BC.
