Found by a farmer on the Aegean island of Milos in 1820, this over-life-size marble most likely shows Aphrodite, bare to the hips, with drapery slipping around her legs. It pairs a calm, classical head with the twisting pose and deep-cut folds of Hellenistic sculpture. A now-lost inscription linked it to Alexandros of Antioch, but that attribution is disputed.

A filled hole below the right breast once held a metal tenon supporting the missing right arm. A marble hand holding an apple, found with the statue, is now thought to belong to it.
