This lead sculpture of Diana the Huntress, dating back to the early 18th century, captures the Roman goddess in her traditional role. The figure, clad in flowing robes, is depicted with a quiver of arrows and a hunting dog by her side, emphasizing her skill and agility. This work, likely created for a garden or outdoor setting, showcases the artist's attention to detail in depicting the subject's anatomy and drapery. Its weathered appearance adds to its historical charm.

Diana, goddess of the hunt, is shown here is full flow. The figure is based on a white marble Diana made in Ancient Rome which is now at the Louvre. This lead sculpture stood in a garden in the North Holland town of Monnickendam until around 1900.
