Using the same body, I inclined towards recreating an adolescent whose head was in proportion to her real height and that corresponded to her youth.

I then softened the curves on her stomach, arraying the plump nymph in the voluptuousness of a Renoir.

For good measure I slightly reduced her feet.

Finally, imagining a little model’s shy attitude of posing nude, I made her fanciful arms, of course unrelated to what a reconstitution of them on the the original Venus could be like.
