Diana with Her Hounds

Circle of Leonhard Kern

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing nude female figure holding chains attached to two dogs. The woman is looking downwards towards one of the dogs. The sculpture is made from a smooth, ivory-colored material with a polished surface. Relative to us, the sculpture is small and detailed, capturing intricate elements such as the woman's facial features, hair, and the muscles and posture of the dogs around the woman's feet.
