Roman version of a Venus by Praxiteles dating from mid-4th century BC, the face of this statue is a portrait of a 2nd century empress, either Faustina, the wife of Marcus Aurelius, or her daughter-in-law Crispina, wife of Commodus (Cortile ottagonale del Belvedere, Octagonal Court of Belvedere).
“Group of happy Venus and Cupid” with head of a Roman woman of the second half of the second century AD (maybe Faustina Minor, wife of Marcus Aurelius or Crispina, wife of Commodus) and body copy of the Aphrodite of Cnidus by Praxiteles (about 395/326 BC). It was probably found near the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.
