2Diana is usually represented as a huntress,
dressed in a short tunic, with her bow and
quiver, surrounded by nymphs or hunting dogs,
sometimes accompanied by a stag. Houdon chose to
show her completely naked, which caused a scandal
at the time. The plaster model was made in 1776
for the Prince of Saxe-Gotha (Gotha castle).
