"Diana" is a 17th-century etching by Lucas (II) Vorsterman. It depicts the Roman goddess Diana in a classical pose, holding a spear and accompanied by a dog. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of Diana's drapery and the surrounding landscape. The etching's composition and depiction of Diana are representative of the Baroque period's fascination with classical themes and a focus on intricate details. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and provides insight into the artistic trends of the 17th century.
