Diana Surprised is a 1890 oil by Jules Lefebvre, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
In this painting, a woman stands in the center, surrounded by several other women. She is nude, with a white cloth draped around her waist and a gold band on her left arm. The woman on the right appears to be surprised, looking at the central figure with her mouth open. The central woman's hair is red, and she wears a gold band on her forehead. The other women are clothed, with one kneeling on the right and another standing on the left. The background is dark, with a rocky wall behind the figures. The painting is held at the National Museum of Fine Arts Buenos Aires. Next, look up the artist, Jules Lefebvre.
