Standbeeld van Diana staande naast jachthond 1636 - 1647

This etching by Dutch artist Theodor Matham, dated 1636-1647, depicts a Roman statue of Diana, the goddess of the hunt. The statue stands on a pedestal with a hunting dog at its side. Diana is shown with her characteristic crescent moon headdress, and in her left hand, she holds a bow. This artwork, which is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of how classical art inspired 17th-century Dutch artists.
