Working in white on a black ground, Pierre Raymond introduced subtle tonal nuances in his monochromatic depictions. The flesh tone of the figures is emphasized through the introduction of a bit of red. Unfolding around the vase is the story of the goddess Diana, who turned the hunter Actaeon into a stag for spying on her while she was bathing.
