"The Toilette of Venus" is a silver sculpture by Etienne-Maurice Falconet, dating from 1775-1799. The work depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, being attended to by a handmaiden. A cherub reclines at the base of the composition. The figures are rendered in a naturalistic style, with attention to detail in their drapery and anatomy. The sculpture is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Falconet's work is known for its elegant and refined aesthetic, and this sculpture exemplifies his skill in depicting the human form.
