Artemis and the Stag
''Artemis and the Stag'' is an early Roman Imperial or Hellenistic bronze sculpture of the ancient Greek goddess Artemis. In June 2007 the Albright-Knox Art Gallery placed the statue into auction; it fetched $28.6 million, the highest sale price of any sculpture at the time.
==Description==
The statue depicts Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting and wild animals amongst other things. She stands on a simple plinth in a pose that suggests she has just released an arrow from her bow. At some point in its history, the bow was separated from the sculpture and was lost. The goddess's hair is wavy and parted, gathered at the back in a chignon. She wears a short chiton that folds at the waist and billows outwards and is partly covered by a himation. On her feet are laced sandals, and a stag stands alongside her. It is thought that the original sculpture may have included a jumping dog to the right of the goddess.〔(Egyptian, Classical, and Western Asiatic Antiquities, including Property of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery ).

Artemis stands at 36 1/4 inches atop a base of 12 1/2 inches. The stag is 16 3/4 inches.〔 The sculpture is made of bronze and is believed to have been made some time between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.〔 It was originally excavated in the 1920s from a Roman construction site and has since changed hands several times before finding a home at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.〔West, Nina P.

The sculpture has been described as "one of the most beautiful works of art surviving from the classical era".〔〔(Sotheby's sets a new world record for sculpture at auction ). 7 June 2007. Accessed 20 October 2011.〕 It is highly regarded for its excellent state of preservation, despite the missing bow, and the its fine detail particularly in the face of Artemis.〔(Bronze Sculpture of Artemis and the Stag brings $28.6M at Sotheby's ).
