Jean-Marc Nattier was a prominent French painter known for his elegant portraits of the French aristocracy, often depicting them in mythological guise. This particular work shows Constance-Gabrielle-Magdeleine Bonnier de la Mosson as Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt. The sitter is portrayed in a flowing white gown with a leopard-skin cloak, holding a bow and arrow, emphasizing her association with the huntress goddess. The painting exemplifies the Rococo style with its emphasis on soft colors, delicate brushstrokes, and elegant compositions.
