About the piece
Painted in 1742 by the celebrated portraitist Jean-Marc Nattier, this masterpiece depicts Madame Bonnier de la Mosson as the goddess Diana. The sitter is elegantly draped in a leopard pelt over a shimmering white gown and vibrant red drapery, holding a bow and arrow while seated before a moody, atmospheric landscape. Nattier’s characteristic luminosity and refined brushwork elevate this piece into a striking example of French court portraiture.
