Venus after the Bath

Giambologna

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a nude woman with short, curly hair. She is standing on one leg, with the other bent and resting on a small, rectangular pedestal. Her left arm is bent at the elbow and her hand is touching her chest. Her right arm is bent at the elbow and her hand is touching her abdomen. The woman's body is made of dark brown metal, possibly bronze. The base she stands on is a black and white speckled cylinder. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The woman's clothing is draped around her hips.
