Measuring approximately 25" tall, this bronze depicts Artemis, the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals. Artemis stands with her foot on a barrel, a deer skin draped over her arm and down her back, and a horn at her waist. The sculpture is attached to a square marble base measuring 7" x 7 3/4" x 1 1/2", and is signed "A. Carrier", for Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, (1824-1887) a French artist. Carrier's sculptures covered a wide range of subject matter, but he is more well known due to the fact Auguste Rodin worked as his assistant from 1864-1870.
