Design for a Medallion: Huntress Kneeling before an Armed Goddess 1625 - 1655

This preparatory drawing, created by Eustache Le Sueur between 1625 and 1655, depicts a design for a medallion. It showcases a kneeling huntress, perhaps Diana, before an armed goddess. The gridded background suggests Le Sueur's meticulous approach to composition, a hallmark of his artistic practice. The drawing's subject matter and composition, with its emphasis on the interaction between the figures, hint at the mythological and classical themes prevalent in Le Sueur's work, making this a valuable piece for understanding his artistic development.
