Venus of Arles by Praxiteles, commissioned by the courtesan Phryne.

The style of famous Praxiteles can be detected in the resemblance of the head to that of the Cnidian Aphrodite, a work by Praxiteles known from copies. The Venus of Arles was discovered in several pieces at the Roman theater in Arles. The sculptural decoration of Arles was executed in Italy, possibly by Greek craftsmen. Some parts of the statue have been added (arms), remodeled or restored (removal of the tenon, lower neck, ribbon...) by the French sculptor Girardon. A copy of the Aphrodite by Praxiteles. First century BC. Exposed at Louvre Museum,
