Terracotta sculptuur van Juno of Venus before 1857

This terracotta sculpture, created by Marcel Gustave Laverdet before 1857, depicts a figure in classical drapery. The sculpture is most likely a depiction of either Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage, or Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The figure is posed in a dynamic stance, with one arm outstretched, suggesting the classical influence of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. The detailed drapery and the overall composition of the work showcase the artistic skill of the artist, capturing the beauty and elegance of the human form. This terracotta sculpture is a testament to the enduring influence of classical art on later periods.
