This is a cast of a more than life-size marble, thought to represent Diana/Artemis, discovered in Gabii, east of Rome, in 1792 and now in The Louvre. The cast was originally displayed in the Manchester Art Museum, later known as the Horsfall Museum, in Ancoats, Manchester. It was part of an educational collection, formed to show beautiful things to Manchester residents in what was a poorer part of the city. It has been connected to the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles.
