Venus stands on a low circular mound on a square straight-sided base which has a chamfered inner edge, and flat underside with a central ventilation hole. She is barefooted and stands on her left foot with her right a little behind it and her right knee relaxed. Her head turned slightly to her right, and holds a brown and white dove on her right hand level with her chest. Her left arm hangs by her side, and with the hand she holds up her tunic to reveal her lower leg. Her brown hair is swept up on top of her head behind a small yellow frontlet with red and blue 'jewels', and two long tresses hang down over her shoulders. Her face is lightly tanned and she has red lips and black irises. She wears a white dress decorated with blue spots, and dark yellow and puce floral sprays, and has green borders round the right armhole, neckline, left sleeve, and lower edge. A pink sash encircles her waist and is tied at centre front. The mound is coloured green and brown and there is a reddish-brown line running round the side of the base.C.889-19281accession numberC.889-192876292priref76292old object number4113urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/76292https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/76292rectangular white stick-on label with cut cornerson basehand-written in black inkNo 4113/Staffordshire/figure of woman/with dove. b. in/Cambridge/Nov 6, 1911labelreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumDr J.
