- Lot Description
Late Hellenistic / Early Roman, ca. 1st century BCE. A finely carved marble head of Aphrodite (Roman Venus) - this type known as the Venus Genetrix (also Aphrodite Frejus or the Louvre-Naples type, taking its name from the most well-preserved example in the Louvre, which was previously believed to have been found at Frejus, however is now known to have come from the vicinity of Naples. She faces forward with her attractive coiffure parted at the center and swept back along the contours of her diadem, the long, wavy locks meticulously delineated and arranged in a twist above the nape of her neck with cascading tresses softly flowing over her earlobes. The goddess' elegant, oval face is sensitively modeled so as to present a naturalistic visage with a rounded forehead, large and generously lidded almond-shaped eyes, a fine brow line that arches gracefully and merges with the bridge of her nose, a soft rounded chin, and full, bow-shaped lips. Size: 4-3/4"H.
