The statuette of Aphrodite bathing, dating back to the 2nd-1st century BC, shows the goddess in a moment of intimacy, drying her hair, as suggested by the twist of her body and her left arm resting on her left leg. Hellenistic art is distinguished precisely by this ability to capture moments of everyday life with great naturalness and grace.
