Artemis and her brother Apollo were the children of Zeus and Leto. In some versions of their myth, Artemis was born first and helped her mother to deliver Apollo. When Apollo noticed that Artemis was spending a great deal of time hunting with the giant Orion, he decided to put an end to the relationship. He challenged Artemis to prove her skill at archery by shooting at an object floating far out at sea. Her shot was perfect. The target turned out to be the head of Orion.
This life-size sculpture is a very elegant indoor artwork. It is both classic and modernist and well suited in either a modern or traditional setting. It is lightweight and can be placed at a high vantage point for better appreciation.
