This Diana with a stag is a replica of a bas-relief from the former collection of Alexandre Lenoir (Ecouen, Musée national
of the Renaissance. Inv.: E.CL.19272). The composition is inspired by Rosso Fiorentino but also by Primaticcio's Diana
who holds an arrow in a similar gesture. A similar version is in the Musée des Arts Décoratif.
By its dimensions as by its theme, it could be a decorative element intended to take place as a central ornament of a lintel.
