Goddess of the Hunt: A Moonlit Reverie

More about Goddess of the Hunt: A Moonlit Reverie

An intricate illustration by Charles Van Sandwyk in the Art Nouveau style, featuring Artemis, goddess of the hunt, moon, and birthing. The central figure is a young woman with long, curly blonde hair adorned with small flowers and a silver crescent moon diadem. She wears a flowing white and pale blue chiton and a starry blue cloak, holding a spear in her right hand and a golden bow in her left. A quivering with arrows is on her back. To her left stands a brown hunting dog, and to her right, a young spotted fawn. All three figures gaze towards the right. The background depicts a lush, dark forest under a large, luminous full moon, with distant mountains and a river. In the lower right corner, a veiled woman in soft white and blue robes sits surrounded by flowers, cradling a baby. The entire scene is framed by an elaborate border, with the words "ARTEMIS goddess of the hunt, moon and birthing" on the left side, above a stylized crescent moon amidst floral designs.
