Portret van Diana 1707

"Portret van Diana" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Goeree, created in 1707. The artwork depicts a bust of the Roman goddess Diana, surrounded by cherubs and symbolic imagery. The central medallion is framed by a draped cloth, and the image is finished off with a delicate, intricate design of bells and ribbon. Goeree, a notable engraver of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, produced numerous prints depicting mythological figures and scenes. This work is a testament to his mastery of detail and his ability to capture the classical beauty of the subject matter. The use of line and shading in this engraving brings out the depth and texture of the objects, providing a sense of realism to the composition. "Portret van Diana" is a fine example of Goeree's talent and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
