The ancient goddess of the hunt appears here more as a modern Art Deco heroine than as a classical academic figure. Diana stands wide-legged and draws her bow, concentrating on an unseen target. The exposed parts are ivory; the costume and bow are colored bronze. A strict rectangular green-onyx base completes the composition
