A Very Beautiful and Pleasing 18th Century Italian White Marble Torso of An Aphrodite

Its head and arms missing, but its stance and attitude following the classic. Very good condition and exhibiting a beautiful, untouched patina. Aphrodite was the symbol of female beautify and goddess of love, identified in Rome with Venus and believed to have been conceived in the foam of the ocean.

Italy, 18th Century
