Diana resting is a 1796 oil by Jan Rustem, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a serene scene of the goddess Diana resting in a lush, natural setting. She is reclining on a red cloth, surrounded by trees and a tranquil lake in the background. A small cherub is seated beside her, while another figure, possibly a nymph, is shown in the distance. The atmosphere is one of peacefulness and calm. The use of oil paint adds depth and richness to the scene, with subtle variations in texture and tone that enhance the overall mood. The artist's skillful brushwork creates a sense of movement and energy, even in the stillness of the scene. This painting is a beautiful example of the artist's work, and fans of Jan Rustem may want to explore more of his pieces at the National Museum in Warsaw.
Jan Rustem (Armenian: Յան Ռուստամ; 1762 – 21 June 1835) was a painter of Armenian ethnicity who lived and worked in the territories of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
