Diana 1745 - 1800

This ivory statuette, "Diana," was likely created in the Haly workshop, sometime between 1745 and 1800. The sculpture portrays the Roman goddess Diana, who was the goddess of the hunt and the moon. Diana stands with a hunting dog at her side and holds a staff, symbolic of her power and authority. The delicate details of the sculpture, such as the flowing drapery and the realistic depiction of the dog, showcase the skill and artistry of the workshop. The statuette is a beautiful example of the Rococo style, which was characterized by its ornate and whimsical details. It is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
