Old photograph of Venus in profile, Capitoline Museum, Rome, 1900, 26x39 cm.

An old black and white photograph depicting an antique Venus in profile, housed at the Museo Capitolino in Rome. The original printed caption reads: "4051. ROMA – Museo Capitolino – Venere (di profilo)". This print likely belongs to an Italian documentary series dedicated to the masterpieces of Roman museums. The numbering and typography of the caption suggest the works of major Italian photographic publishers from the early 20th century, such as Fratelli Alinari, Brogi, or Domenico Anderson, although a definitive attribution cannot be established in the absence of a stamp or publisher's mention. Presented under glass in a gilded wooden frame with a mount (a more recent assembly), this photograph makes a beautiful decorative element for a classic interior, a library, or a cabinet of curiosities. Frame dimensions: 26 X 39 cm. Overall good condition. Light signs of use on the frame, consistent with its age.
