About the piece
This 1650 oil painting captures Luise Elisabeth of Courland in an allegorical guise, likely as the goddess Diana. She is shown holding a hunting bow and wearing an elaborate, voluminous feathered headpiece, set against a twilight landscape with a distant castle. The work reflects the Baroque tradition of noble portraiture where subjects were often portrayed with mythological attributes.
