Detailed description
A Diana of Gabii type patinated bronze statue.
The classicizing posture and the delicately draped drapery evoke the Greek prototypes of ancient Roman sculpture, particularly the Hellenistic tradition of the 4th century BC. The balanced proportions and calm movement of the composition refer to the favored antiquizing theme of 19th-century academic sculpture.
The Diana of Gabii is an ancient Roman sculpture type that depicts the goddess Artemis (Diana) in a step, adjusting her tunic with a calm and classically balanced gesture.
