Diana with a Doe, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, France.
Diana with a Doe is a stone sculpture located in the Tuileries Garden that depicts the Roman goddess of hunting next to a female deer. The work shows both figures composed together in a natural scene.
Guillaume Coustou the Elder created this stone sculpture in the 18th century as part of the decorative projects for the Tuileries. The work emerged during a period when French sculptors explored classical themes in public settings.
The statue shows Diana in a scene with her deer companion, reflecting how ancient goddesses were portrayed in French garden art. Visitors can observe how Roman mythology shaped French artistic expression.
The sculpture stands in the open Tuileries Garden between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, accessible throughout the year. The garden is wheelchair-friendly and visitors can view the statue freely on any visit without restrictions.
The marble group was carved by Guillaume Coustou the Elder in 1710 for the Château de Marly, then brought to the Tuileries during the Revolution. Look for the dog at Diana's feet, often missed beside the doe.
