"Diana And Nymphs Bathing In A Wood Discovered By The Theban Prince" is an illustrative work by the British artist William Marshall Craig (circa 1798). Craig, a miniaturist and watercolor painter, was renowned for his skills in creating detailed and emotive portrait miniatures and watercolor genre scenes that beautifully captured the social realities and breadth of the late 18th and early 19th century life in.

"Diana And Nymphs Bathing In A Wood Discovered By The Theban Prince" features the classical story from Roman mythology of Diana, goddess of the hunt and moon, often associated with chastity, bathing with her handmaidens in a secluded forest glade. The scenery is interrupted by the surprise voyeurism of the Theban prince Actaeon, a famous hunter; according to the myth, Actaeon was transformed into a stag and torn apart by his own hounds as divine retribution for his transgression upon Diana's privacy.

Craig's depiction of the scene exudes a certain depth of emotion and tension: the surprise of the nymphs and Diana, the shock of Actaeon, all rendered with a fine-tuned sensitivity for storytelling. His mastery of watercolor lends an ephemeral, dream-like quality to the work, giving it an aura of surreal and suspended time.

The piece is characteristic of Craig's attention to detail whilst managing to portray the scene with a certain subtlety, making this piece emblematic of Craig's body of work and his dynamic ability to captivate viewers with layered narrative imagery. As of the current moment, the whereabouts of the original piece are unknown, hinting at the enduring mystery that blankets much of Craig's life and work.
