Miss r.. v *. Stovall. ~ C.-Ycs.
there are number OF statues Of Venus,
the Roman counterpart OF the Greek
goddess OF love and beauty. In ancient
art Aphrodite was at first represented
clothed, sometimes seated, but more
frequently standing; then naked: rising
from the sea, or after the bath. I'll

and the artists merely presented her rs

times was that at Cnidus. the work of
Praxitclcs, which YVES initiated OH the
