"Diana with Attendants at a Fountain" is a notable oil painting by Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680), a Dutch-born artist who became one of the most prominent portrait painters in England during the 17th century. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was particularly renowned for his portraits of the English court, and his works are characterized by their elegance and sensuality. This painting is a fine example of his skill in depicting mythological subjects, which were popular among the aristocracy of the time as symbols of virtue and classical learning.

The painting portrays Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, associated with wild animals and woodland, and having the power to talk to and control animals. She is often depicted as a huntress with a bow and arrows. In Lely's rendition, Diana is accompanied by attendants at a fountain, a scene that evokes the pastoral and idyllic landscapes often found in classical mythology. The composition likely reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance art, which Lely would have studied during his formative years as an artist.

"Diana with Attendants at a Fountain" exemplifies Lely's adept use of color and his ability to capture the textures of fabrics and the softness of flesh. The figures are typically rendered with a degree of idealization, a common trait in Lely's work. The painting not only demonstrates Lely's technical proficiency but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic milieu of Restoration England, where mythological and historical subjects were used to convey moral narratives and to flatter the tastes of patrons.

As with many of Lely's mythological paintings, "Diana with Attendants at a Fountain" would have been commissioned by a wealthy patron, intended to be displayed within a grand residence, where it would contribute to the opulent and learned atmosphere. Today, the painting is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the themes and styles that were prevalent in the English Baroque period, as well as into the broader European tradition of mythological painting.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Lely that helped to define the visual culture of the English court in the post-Civil War era, a time when art was used to help restore the monarchy's image and to celebrate the restored peace and prosperity. Sir Peter Lely's legacy as a court painter and his influence on British portraiture extend well beyond his lifetime, with "Diana with Attendants at a Fountain" standing as a testament to his enduring artistic achievements.
