A French bronze figure of Diana the Huntress after Jean-Antoine Houdon, 19 th century, the figure balanced on tip toes and carrying her bow in her left hand on a circular raised based, incised ‘Houdon 1796’, 58cm high Footnote: Houdon’s bronze of Diana the Huntress dated 1790 is now in the Louvre and was acquired from the artists’ heirs in 1829. According to the Louvre “Houdon presented a life size plaster of Diana in his studio during the 1777 salon. The finished sculpture was to be executed in marble for Duc Ernst II of Saxe-Gotha compensation for commission lost by the sculptor. The bronze version is now in the Louvre. The sculpture was acclaimed for its beauty worthy of classical statuary. The impression of swiftness is accentuated by Diana’s slim figure. The goddess's nudity was deemed acceptable only when she was depicted bathing, the same year as Christophe Allegrain showed his buxom Diana surprised by the huntsman Actaeon while bathing.” Houdon’s naked Diana caused a scandal and her pubis considered too realistic was filled in and flattened in 1829.
