Three sculptures placed side by side in the white-washed vaulted basement of the Studiobuilding; due to the viewing angle, the leftmost figure, a cast of the ‘Capitoline Venus,’ appears to be the largest. The other two casts represent ‘Eirene carrying the infant Plutos on her arm’ and ‘Ares Borghese.’ All three sculptures are visible from the head to about the knee.
