About the piece

Created in 1830 by James Ward, this masterful mythological oil painting depicts the goddess Diana at her bath. The composition is defined by dramatic red drapery that frames the luminous figures, while classical columns and a sprawling landscape provide a grand architectural backdrop typical of Romantic-era British painting.
