Female Archer with Dog - Sarasota, FL - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

from the brochure, this is stop number 2:

'Diana of Versailles'
Marble
Diana, born Delos, just before her brother Apollo; was the Godess of the Hunt & was considered the queen of the wild animal kingdom as she was often accompanied by wild beasts. Roman adaptation after an original created circa 330 BC by Leochares(?). Louvre, Paris.

One of two statues added in 2007.
-----
Description: A barefoot female archer, possibly Diana, stands with her hair pulled up into a bun at the back of her head. She is dressed in a sleeveless robe which is tied at the waist. The skirt is pulled away to reveal most of her proper left leg. She carries a quiver with five arrows over her proper right shoulder and holds the end of a bow in her proper right hand. A short-haired dog lies at her feet.

Remarks: Bought in 1925 in Venice, Italy by John Ringling for his intended Ritz Carlton Hotel in Sarasota, Florida. The hotel was never completed due to the 1929 stock market crash. The sculpture was loaned by the Ringling Museum to the City of Sarasota in the late 1950s. For related information see David Weeks' "Ringling, The Florida Years: 1911-1936."
