Étienne Maurice Falconet (1 December 1716 – 24 January 1791) was a French baroque, rococo and neoclassical sculptor, best-known for his equestrian statue of Peter the Great, the Bronze Horseman (1782), in St. Petersburg, Russia. Initially he was attracted by the Baroque one, indeed he studied the works of Bernini preserved in to Versailles, and he approached in a second time to the current classicist headed by Pigalle.
This sublime Venus represents a sensual female figure in the action to dry with a cloth her legs,in this way she realized an harmonious movement that produces grace to the whole body. The work is strongly connected with the influence of Bernini but we surely finds an evident connection to the softness of the contours and the volumes typical of the works of Pigalle.
