Soft-paste porcelain containing bone ash, figure of Venus, press-moulded, with hand-modelled details, painted underglaze in blue, and over slightly turquoise tinted lead-glaze in blue turquoise, green, yellow, orange, flesh-orange, pink, and brown enamels, and gilt. The underside is glazed and has a small circular ventilation hole near the back. The roughly square base has five scroll feet with a pierced rocaille motif between the front two. At the back there is a tall tree stump with a low branch on the proper right and a higher, longer branch on the left, bearing applied polychrome flowers and leaves. Venus stands with her left foot crossed over her right and leans back against the top of the tree on her left elbow, while holding out her right hand towards the viewer. She has brown hair dressed in a bun with two long descending curls, and has a turquoise bangle on her right arm. She wears a blue tunic with puce flowers and gold foliage in reserves, a yellow lining and edges. It is long at the back, thigh length at the front, and off the right shoulder so as to reveal her bosom. Across her back she has a pink and yellow drape attached to her left shoulder by a brooch. She has underglaze blue and gold toeless boots with a dark pink top border. On the ground to her left there are two pink doves and applied flowers and leaves, and on her right, another clump of flowers and leaves. The base is picked out in turquoise and gold.
