From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

The statuette’s scale speaks to its likely place in private, intimate settings. The serpentine composition would have encouraged close examination from multiple angles. Compare the complexity of her pose to the relatively static Venus with a Burning Urn (1948.171). Giambologna intended his bronze statuettes to be held and touched, to fully appreciate their smooth, elegant forms.
