Bust Of Diana, Georges Van Der Straeten (1856-1928), Paris, Art Nouveau, Circa 1900

Patinated bronze bust of Diana, goddess of the hunt, nature, fertility, and the moon in Roman mythology.

The Belgian artist rejected the academic representation of the goddess in favor of an author's Art Nouveau style.
