This bronze bust, "Bust of Venus," was created by Aristide Maillol in 1936. Maillol was a French sculptor known for his simplified, yet expressive, representations of the human form. The bust depicts a woman with a simple, yet elegant hairstyle, her features are smooth and serene. This sculpture is a classic example of Maillol's signature style which is characterized by its monumentality, and emphasis on volume and mass.
