Italian Plastic Artist (18th Century) - Bathing Venus.
Artist: Artiste Plasticien Italien (xviiie Siècle)
Italian sculptor (18th century) - Venus at the Bath.
27 x 22 x h 45 cm.
Full figure in modelled terracotta.
The sculpture depicts a seated Venus on a rocky support, caught in the act of drying her foot. The figure, in Neoclassical taste, shows careful anatomical rendering in the modelling of the torso and limbs, while a gathered drapery beneath her animates the composition with soft folds. The face, inclined downward, conveys quiet concentration. The model recalls the tradition of seated Venuses from the Italian academic milieu of the 18th century.
