This 17th-century etching, titled "Diana," depicts the Roman goddess of the hunt in a serene forest setting. The anonymous artist captures Diana in a contemplative pose, accompanied by two hunting dogs, a bow and arrow, and a crescent moon on her head. The detailed etching style of the piece reflects the mastery of the period, highlighting the fine details of Diana's attire and the surrounding woodland environment. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, this miniature artwork is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural relevance of classical mythology in the 17th century.
