The Goddess Diana Receiving The Kill

Johannes Fijt, 1611-1661
Oil on canvas
Private Collection
The Goddess Diana sits atop a pile of wild game. The bounty of the hunt. She is being handed a rabbit by a woman wearing a pearl necklace. Diana wears a gold dress, held up at one shoulder by a gold, bejeweled strap. Diana is the goddess of the hunt. She has a quiver full of arrows, red laced sandals, and a glowing red scarf. Hunting dogs circle her. It's the end of the day, the evening. The time when the sun first starts to set. The end of a good hunting day.
