Bronze proof with brown patina replica of the Roman marble sculpture, attributed to Praxiteles (around 395-326 BC), discovered during excavations in 1792 in Gabies, Italy.
This work depicts Artemis, goddess of hunting and nature, wearing a short chiton with wide sleeves. She is depicted as she goes to fasten her coat. As is customary in ancient art, the deity gazes into space. Her wavy hair is held back by a very thin headband.
This work will particularly appeal to lovers of mythology.
