Statue of Artemis made of marble and found in Athens. It belongs to the type known as the Artemis Versailles. The goddess is depicted upright, with a distinct forward movement. With her right hand, she holds the horns of a deer, beneath which a dog is depicted. The arms were made of separate pieces of marble and inlaid. The chiton was decorated with red and yellow color, as is evident from the traces of the hem of her garment.  Roman copy of a 4th c.
