Notes Foto sup 733, verso del supporto secondario: nota anonima manoscritta: "She has been clothed, as the original was nude. There are even some who believe this statue to be the original of Praxiteles, but this is more than doubtful. Pope Julius wanted to put her by the side of the Apollo Belvedere. The South Kensington Museum people were allowed to have a cast of her made without her tin petticoat after promising not to reproduce her in this indelicate condition. The head does not belong to the statue. See Helbig, 316 (574). The repetition of this statue at Munich has a noseless head which Michaelis says is th finest of the Cnidian heads... "

La "Venere Colonna" è una replica della statua di Afrodite creata da Prassitele per il santuario di Cnido, intorno alla metà del IV sec. a.C.
