DIANA the HUNTRESS, PLASTER FRIEZE, HIGH GREAT CHAMBER, HARDWICK HALL, DERBYSHIRE_DSC_7703_LR_2.5

Frieze shows Diana the huntress, surrrounded by her court. It is in the highest status room and above the seating that was used by the Countess and would be used by the Queen if visiting. It was probably a deliberate allusion to Queen Elizabeth I, whom Bess hoped would visit Hardwick. (she never did).
