The figure holds a small clamshell—one of Venus’s classic attributes—evoking the mythology of her birth from the sea. Crafted with lifelike anatomical detail and naturalistic grace, this signed bronze exemplifies Rasmussen’s academic training and sculptural finesse. The soft curves, poised posture, and gentle facial expression lend the figure a timeless classical beauty.

The sculpture retains its original untouched aged bronze patina, with rich dark tones and nuanced gradation that accentuate the form and texture. It is mounted on a solid, veined black marble plinth, adding contrast, weight, and visual drama. Measures 14 inches high, 5 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. Total weight is 8 pounds. Signed on the bronze at foot, Otto Rasmussen. Good antique condition, please review the photos for further detail assessment.

A high-quality work of art, this piece is ideal for collectors of 19th-century European sculpture, neoclassical décor, or those looking for a sophisticated focal point in a study, library, or curated interior.
