Tinted Venus sculpture by John Gibson is a 1862 photographic by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photo of a small statue of a woman standing on a pedestal. She’s nude, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding a piece of cloth. The statue looks soft and smooth, like marble. The background is dark with a draped fabric, and the whole scene is shown twice—once from each side—on a yellow-edged card. The photo was made in 1862 by a company that sold stereoscopic views, which means you’d look at it through a special viewer to see it in 3D. The statue’s name is *Tinted Venus*, but we don’t know much else about it. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sculptures like it.
