Aphrodite of Knidos — Plaster Head for Drawing Studies

The statue of Aphrodite of Knidos is a masterpiece of ancient Greek sculpture, created by the renowned sculptor Praxiteles. The goddess of love and beauty became not only a religious symbol but also a prominent cultural landmark in Ancient Greece. Although the original was lost in a fire, a Roman copy is now exhibited in the British Museum.

The plaster head of Aphrodite serves as a valuable reference for artists and students. It offers the opportunity to study volume, structure, and form, balancing broad generalization with precise detailing. The head’s complex volume presents a challenge for accurate rendering, encouraging the artist to establish harmonious relationships between all parts through skillful construction.
