Woman as Diana in Nature 1904

Gustave-Claude-Etienne Courtois's "Woman as Diana in Nature," painted in 1904, depicts a nude woman, identified as the Roman goddess Diana, in a lush forest setting. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, is depicted holding a bow, a symbol of her power and skill. Courtois's depiction of Diana, a figure who is often associated with strength and independence, is a testament to his interest in classical mythology and the beauty of the natural world.
