Diane à la biche

The statue depicts Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting, reaching for her weapon with a quiver of arrows visible over her shoulder and accompanied by a deer.

The sculpture has been a notable feature of the Luxembourg Gardens since the First Empire period, contributing to the garden's collection of 106 statues.

Diana's representation in this sculpture reflects Roman mythology, where she served as both the goddess of hunting and the guardian of childbirth.

The sculpture stands at 2.15 meters on a stone base in the central area of Luxembourg Gardens, offering views toward the Palais du Luxembourg.

The marble statue draws inspiration from the Diane de Versailles displayed at the Louvre, demonstrating the perpetuation of classical artistic forms.
