"Portrait of a Lady Dressed as Diana the Huntress" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Jean-Marc Nattier, renowned for his portraiture that often depicted members of the aristocracy in mythological guises. Created in 1746, this work is a quintessential example of Nattier's approach to portraiture, blending classical references with the elegance and sophistication of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during the reign of Louis XV.

The painting features an unidentified lady of the French court dressed as Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, known for her chastity and archery skills. Nattier's subject is adorned in a costume that reflects the attributes of Diana, including a crescent moon diadem that alludes to her role as a lunar deity and a quiver of arrows signifying her identity as a huntress. The sitter's pose and attire are carefully constructed to evoke the grace and poise associated with the goddess, while also showcasing the sitter's wealth and status.

Nattier's talent for capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters while simultaneously idealizing them is evident in this portrait. The painting is characterized by its delicate color palette, meticulous brushwork, and the harmonious integration of the sitter into the mythological theme, a hallmark of Nattier's portraiture. The background of the painting, often a landscape or pastoral setting, further reinforces the allegorical nature of the work.

"Portrait of a Lady Dressed as Diana the Huntress" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a representation of the cultural and social milieu of the French aristocracy in the 18th century. It is part of a broader tradition of portraying nobility in the guise of classical figures, which served both as a form of flattery and as a means of aligning the sitter with the virtues and attributes of the gods and goddesses they emulated.

The painting is an important piece within Nattier's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the Rococo period's artistic conventions and the role of portraiture in constructing and communicating identity and status. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts of French art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and socio-historical context.
