Head of Venus at The Réunion des Musées Nationaux, Paris

This sculpture is unmistakably Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, thanks to its robust facial structure and neatly tied back hair. Unfortunately, it remains unclear where this bust originates from, but it could be a variant of the famous Venus de Milo or a section of The 'Venus and Cupid', both on display at The Louvre in Paris.
