Diana the Huntress Jean-Antoine HOUDON France 1790 Bronze

Goddess of the moon and huntress, Diana is depicted with an "easy walking/stroll" attitude (according to the sculptor) while she is hunting.

Her body balanced on the tip of her left foot, she wields her bow in her left hand and an arrow in her right hand.

Her nude, fine and elegant silhouette gives this piece of art its ethereal aspect.
