Set amongst a row of sculptures in front of the businesses at Youngstorget Square, this piece by Fredrik K. Braten depicts Venus as a nude young woman being held and caressed from behind by a man. The work is about 5 feet tall and appears to be sculpted from granite. The figures torsos taper off into a smooth area which would appear to wrap around the two.
