Description
Aphrodite is represented in a crouching position as she squeezes the water out of her hair after her bath. The statue, dated to the 1st century B.C, is a variant of the famous bronze sculpture attributed to the Bithynian sculptor Doidalsas. (3rd Century B.C)
In the Cesi Collection - and later on - in the Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection, this Aphrodite, restored in its upper part, was placed next to the boy with a goose in order to create the statuary group of Leda and the Swan.

Object Parts
I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
