A fantasy - an experiment in style, depicting the mythological huntress. When viewed together with the sister painting 125 - Devil's Daughter, it has a different meaning. It appears to be the exemplar in the good - evil character spectrum, though it is interesting to note that in Ancient Greece, early temples to Diana involved some form of animal sacrifice, indicating that not all was sweet.
