A study after Venus de Milo.
According to Wikipedia, “The Venus de Milo or Aphrodite of Melos[b] is an ancient Greek marble sculpture that was created during the Hellenistic period. Its exact dating is uncertain, but the modern consensus places it in the 2nd century BC, perhaps between 160 and 110 BC. It was rediscovered in 1820 on the island of Milos, Greece, and has been displayed at the Louvre Museum since 1821. Since the statue’s discovery, it has become one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture in the world.”
The statue is attributed to Alexandros from Antioch.
I didn’t attempt to make an exact replica, nor I tried to compare myself with Alexandros – that would be hubris. This is just a study, a personal project merely for practice. Which almost broke me, I will stick to making characters from imagination for a while.
