Giovanni Girolamo Frezza's "Diana" (1704) is a black and white engraving depicting the Roman goddess of the hunt in a dynamic pose, drawing back her bow and arrow as she stands on a cloud. The image is framed by a decorative archway, with a crescent moon and clouds in the background. The engraving is a detailed and elegant depiction of Diana, showcasing Frezza's mastery of the medium. Diana, a popular subject in classical art, embodies themes of hunting, nature, and the divine feminine.
