This is a 16th-century engraving by the Italian artist Marcantonio Raimondi. It shows the Roman goddess Venus standing on a riverbank, wringing water from her hair. It is possible the artwork was inspired by a lost painting by Raphael. A tree trunk leans into the composition, and the viewer is situated at a slight distance, looking at the figure from a slightly lower angle. The engraving technique captures the subtle details of the human form, particularly the goddess's flowing hair and the delicate folds of her skin.
