Caption
The goddess of hunting, Diana, is here shown resting in a classical landscape, having been out hunting with her nymphs. The artist, Johannes Glauber, also had a younger brother, Jan Gottlieb Glauber, who accompanied him to Italy, but subsequently worked in Austria and Silesia (the family was of Germanic origin). The works of the two have never been properly distinguished from one another, and the form of signature on this picture, and its pair, could suggest a collaboration between them.
