About this piece
back to topAn antique Grand Tour alabaster statue of Diana di Gabbi, after the antique. Dating to circa 1890, this expertly hand-carved sculpture is in excellent original condition.
The original statue of Diana di Gabii, traditionally attributed to the sculptor Praxiteles, has been on display in the Louvre since 1820. She is said to have been inspired by Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt.
She is displayed in drapery, fastening a cloak on her right shoulder, and a tree trunk behind her right leg.
Highly detailed and of a petite size, this sculpture would certainly look impressive on display in any grand, Neoclassical and Grand Tour style home.
