The subject of this sculpture stands out clearly due to its robust and stunning facial features and elegant hairstyle that embodies the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite. The exact origin of this bust from a larger sculpture remains unclear, but it is likely a modern adaptation of either the Capitoline Venus at The Louvre or The Nude Venus at The British Museum in London.
