A weathered cast stone garden figure modelled in the Neoclassical taste, after the Venus Italica by Antonio Canova. The female subject is depicted in the Venus Pudica pose, standing with her right arm across her chest and her left hand clutching a draped garment gathered around her hips. The figure is constructed from a composite stone or cast concrete with an integral circular base. The surface features significant lichen and moss colonization, particularly across the head and shoulders, resulting in a dark, mottled patina. The sculpture displays classical proportions and detailed hair modelling in the Roman style. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the figure or the base.
