"A Portrait of a Young Woman as Diana" is a fragmentary painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Christiaen van Couwenbergh. Created in the 17th century, this artwork depicts a young woman personifying Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, known for her strength and chastity. The subject stands half-length within a pastoral landscape, which is typical of mythological portraiture of the period. She is attired in a green dress and chemise, with a wrap around her waist, suggesting the attire of a huntress and echoing the goddess's association with nature.

Van Couwenbergh, born in 1604 in Gouda and active in the city of Delft, was a contemporary of artists such as Johannes Vermeer and is known for his history paintings and portraits. His style was influenced by the Utrecht Caravaggisti, a group of Dutch painters influenced by the work of the Italian master Caravaggio. This influence is evident in the dramatic use of light and shadow in this portrait, which serves to highlight the figure's youthful features and the texture of her clothing.

The painting is referred to as a "fragment" because it is believed to be a part of a larger work that has since been separated or lost. The reasons for its fragmentation may be due to historical circumstances such as damage, alteration, or the tastes of collectors over the centuries. Despite its incomplete state, the work offers insight into van Couwenbergh's artistic approach and the cultural context of the Dutch Golden Age.

"A Portrait of a Young Woman as Diana" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of mythological iconography in the context of Dutch portraiture. The painting contributes to the understanding of how classical themes were interpreted and integrated into the domestic and personal art of the period. It remains an important piece for studying the oeuvre of Christiaen van Couwenbergh and the broader trends in European art of the 17th century.
