How many revisions did the heads of the crouching figure undergo ?
[ http://www.theoi.com/Gallery/S10.11.html] The " Crouching Venus of Vienne " , 1 st or 2nd - century CE , considered one of the finest Roman marbles of this type , was excavated in 1828 at Sainte - Colombe , on the right bank of the Rhône , part of the ancient city of Vienne which lies across the river ; it was purchased from the Gerantet collection in 1878 for the Louvre , where Cézanne drew it and adapted it for one of the figures in his " Grande Baigneuses " ( Philadelphia ) .
