Striking 19th-century French hand-carved wood statue depicting Venus, also known as Aphrodite, dating to circa 1870. The sculpture is finished in a faux bronze treatment that gives the carved wood the appearance of aged bronze, and it is presented on an ebonized pedestal.
Executed in the Neoclassical style, the figure presents Venus/Aphrodite as a nude female form, reflecting the classical tradition of idealized female beauty found in European sculpture. The combination of the hand-carved wood, faux bronze finish, and contrasting black ebonized pedestal creates a dramatic presentation.
A substantial and distinctive decorative sculpture for collectors of French antiques, Neoclassical art, classical mythology, and European decorative objects.
