About the sculpture

This boxwood statuette is based on one of the three figures on the late sixteenth century Chasse de Sainte Geneviève in the Musée du Louvre. The arms of the Chasse figures have been lost and those here are adapted from the antique Callipygian Venus, formerly in the Farnese collection and now in the Museo Nazionale in Naples. It dates from the nineteenth century.
