Diana 1893 - 1894

"Diana," a bronze sculpture created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens between 1893 and 1894, depicts the Roman goddess of the hunt in a dynamic pose. The nude figure stands on a sphere, balancing precariously as she draws back her bow to fire an arrow. This work exemplifies Saint-Gaudens’s mastery of naturalistic form and his penchant for classical subject matter. The sculpture is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
