Diana of Gabii
An elegant bronze sculpture with a nuanced brown patina depicting the goddess Artemis adjusting her wide-sleeved chiton, after the ancient marble sculpture attributed to Praxiteles (wear consistent with age).
The base is marked "Ré ion Sauvage" for Sauvage Reduction, a technique for reducing bronze sculptures developed by Frédéric Sauvage (1786-1857).
On a sea-green marble base.
19th century.
Good condition.

Discovered in 1792 on the Gabii estate of Prince Borghese, near Rome, this antiquity was sold by the prince to Napoleon in 1807. In the 19th century, the statue enjoyed great popularity, and copies were installed in numerous locations, such as the Cour Carrée of the Louvre, the Athenaeum Club in London, and the Copenhagen Botanical Gardens. It is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
