Roman copy of Praxiteles'sAphrodite of Knidos for which Phyre was allegedly the model. Possibly the first heroic female nude in Greek art history, done by the most famous sculptor of her time. And although the original is lost (as alas are all his originals), it was one of the most copied of all ancient Greek sculptures; so artists who saw the original were impressed.
