Huntress (1780s-style)

A theme drawn from Greco-Roman mythology

The magical, often bawdy tales of classical mythology allowed artists to deal with scenes and subjects – such as nudity - otherwise bared to them. All educated 18th century men – and women – would know Greek and Roman myths well enough to understand references to the stories in applied arts such as watch decoration.
