Another remarkable artwork attributed to Bol is "Diana and Her Nymphs with the Ox Hunt. " Although its creator remains unknown, this painting exemplifies Bol's ability to depict dynamic scenes filled with action and drama. Set against the backdrop of Flanders during the same period as his other works, it immerses us in Diana's world as she leads her nymphs on an exhilarating hunt.

This particular piece demonstrates how he skillfully combined nature elements like hillsides, villages, chateaus along with elaborate borders creating visually stunning compositions.
