The print is also extremely detailed, with each strand of her hair and every fold of her dress rendered in high definition. This attention to detail makes the print an excellent choice for anyone who wants to add a touch of elegance to their home decor. This engraving shows Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon and of hunting, out on the hunt with one of her dogs while carrying a bow and quiver of arrows.
