Jean-Marc Nattier's "Madame Bergeret de Frouville as Diana" from 1756 portrays the sitter in the guise of the Roman goddess of the hunt. The subject is depicted in a white gown with a leopard-skin shawl, holding a bow and arrow, with a quiver of arrows at her side. This type of portrait, known as a "portrait imaginaire," was popular during the Rococo era, allowing subjects to express their personal qualities and aspirations.
