Austrian Polychrome Enamel Plaque of Goddess
An enchanting polychrome enamel plaque most likely depicting Artemis in a landscape. Artemis is the beloved Greek goddess of the hunt and wild animals. Here she is wonderfully portrayed true to form with hunting hounds and spear at the ready. A beautiful and graceful depiction of her strength and athleticism. Painted in a wonderfully simple palette limited to black, white, and gold. The dark frame with gilt accent complements the color scheme and provides the perfect finish to this delightful artwork.
