    - Marble bust circa 1850 after the Italian Venus by sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822).

    - This marble portrait is based on the bust of the Italian Venus by the sculptor Antonio Canova. The Italian sculptor created his first Italian Venus in marble, a life-size full-length female nude, in 1804. Produced as compensation for the transfer of the Venus de' Medici to France by Napoleonic troops, Canova's Venus faithfully imitates the character of ancient Greek and Roman statues of gods and goddesses, prized at the time as archetypes of beauty and symbols of nobility. Over the following decades, his studio and others reproduced the model of the Italic Venus on various scales, including busts like this one, which invite close observation of her curly hair tied back in a ponytail and held in place by a ribbon. The quality of the sculpture also allows us to appreciate the complex structure of the many curls on the young woman's forehead. Her face is imbued with great tenderness thanks to the subtle details of her modeling, notably her slightly parted lips.
