Content (description)

The two statues have been arranged as a group on two ledges of a rocky mound. On left on the lower ledge stands a nude putto who hugs to himself a large goose. On right nude Venus kneels to right but turns and looks up to left. Her right hand holds drapery on her head, but most of it falls to her left hand, which rests on her knee.
