Marble Statuette of a Woman in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Marble Statuette of a Woman in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Statuette of a Woman
Greek, made in the eastern Mediterranean, 100-1 BC
Marble

Inventory # 96.AA.169

The graceful young woman depicted here wears a sheer dress that accentuates the fluid lines of her body and slips off one shoulder. The revealing drapery and seductive attitude suggest that the figure represents Aphrodite, who was frequently shown in this manner.

Text from the Getty Villa museum label.
