This media file features a marble bas-relief sculpture of the Roman goddess Artemis. The sculpture, identified by a red plaque as "Artemis," is dated to the early 2nd century AD and is made of marble. It depicts Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, standing in a draped tunic and sandals, holding a torch-like object aloft in her right hand. Her left hand is at her side, grasping what appears to be a bow. The sculpture is mounted on a flat, rectangular background and rests on a pedestal that has some inscriptions, including "4187" and "N.13:". The red plaque also provides information in both Russian and English. The Russian text indicates the sculpture is made of marble, is a Roman work from the early 2nd century AD, was acquired in 1851 from the Academy of Arts, and identifies Artemis as the goddess of the hunt. The English text reiterates this information. The sculpture is displayed on a textured, dark red wall, suggesting it is an exhibit in a museum or gallery. The lighting casts shadows that highlight the relief and texture of the marble. The overall scene is one of quiet display, with the artwork as the central focus. The context suggests a location within Saint Petersburg, Russia, given the Academy of Arts' presence there.
