Bronze with dark brown patina, on sea green marble base, signed J. Garnier on the embankment.
Jean Garnier (1853 - 1910), is a sculptor, enameller, carver, of Vendée origin. Self-taught with complete knowledge and recognized by his peers, he also signed enamel jewelry.
"Diana Huntress" is a work representing the Roman goddess of the hunt, of war and of the night, in her simplest form, only dressed in a long drapery struggling with the wind.
She brandishes her bow, her knee resting on a rock.
Her hair is haloed with the emblem of the moon she protects.
Diane, a feminist figure, inspired many courtesans, such as Diane de Poitier, who saw in her nothing but strength and conviction.
The artist highlights female courage, through this mythological work, strikingly realistic.
