Two figures of Aphrodite
c.1853-1876Albumen print | 33.6 x 23.5 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854559
A photograph of a drawing depicting two figures of Aphrodite now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.261). This drawing features a study for a male torso on the verso (see RCIN 854566 for a photograph of the verso). Annotated on the verso.
Parker (see Bibliographic References) noted that this drawing seems to be "the work of a skilful artist contemporary with Raphael". The full-length figure is one of the types of the 'Venus pudica', such as the Medici Venus now in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.
