Diana Chasseresse
Diana Chasseresse (Diana, Huntress) by French Painter Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836 – 1911); known for his figure portraits and who’s importance was that of an educator who had over 1500 students some who obtained fame as painters.
This is a scene depicting the Roman Goddess of the Hunt Diana in a semi nude pose sitting on a large stepped boulder, near what appears to be the entrance to a cave with large grasses appearing just behind the boulder that has a few blue flowers on it.
Diana has a sheer light blue cloth covering her bent left leg that is on the step of the smaller boulder, which flows over it and on to the ground, with the foot of her extended right leg placed upon it.
She is looking to her right over her right shoulder, with the hand of her extended right arm grasping a brass bow; while she supports the position she is in, with her extended left arm that has her left hand placed on the boulder she is sitting on, which is near quiver filled with arrows.
