The Three Graces Sculpture

This is a unique work, not from an edition. The raw white cast marble sculpture itself was not created by the artist; it is a found object which Graves has hand-painted and transformed with his own design. The sculpture is cast marble: over 90% natural crushed Greek Marble stone with a small amount of resin poured into a mold, made in Heraklion, Greece.

Antonio Canova’s statue "The Three Graces", 1813-1816, is a Neoclassical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charites, daughters of Zeus - identified on some engravings of the statue as, from left to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia - who were said to represent youth/beauty, mirth, and elegance.
