After the 1st century, terracotta production began to decrease significantly due to the affordability and popularity of bronze. The designs from the Roman era often mirrored earlier Greek prototypes. This example, showing Venus and amores at her toilette and tending to her hair, recalls Hellenistic depictions of the goddess.

For a related example, see J. Chesterman, Classical Terracotta Figures, New York, 1974, p. 76.
