Venus (of nymf) op dolfijn 1823 - 1827

"Venus (of nymf) op dolfijn" is a plaster sculpture by Louis Royer created between 1823-1827, and housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sculpture features a seated female figure, identified as Venus, on a dolphin. Venus is depicted as a Roman goddess, with an elaborate crown, a nude upper body, and a flowing gown. This 19th-century sculpture is an example of Neoclassical art. The piece is a testament to Royer's skill in capturing the delicate form and poise of a woman.
