Girl Scout (Bullseye)
Athena may be the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, but it is Artemis to whom we associate the bow and arrow. Artemis, goddess of the hunt, but also of nature, healing, care of children, and notably chastity. Aphrodite had no power over this huntress.
Girl Scout (Bullseye) (dated between 1920 and 1921) depicts a similar combination of independence and joy. An unknown photographer captured the moment our young Girl Scout plucked her arrow from a bullseye, smiling and triumphant. You can practically feel the fresh air and vitality emanate from the photo.
