Creator Title Emotional Sum (Sense of Life or emotional World View) Theme
Designer: Rouff, Maggy Helene Arpels Dress Elegance and richness of detail
Sculptor: Canova, Antonio Three Graces The female human form is beautiful, graceful, ideal.

Quiet repose and sisterly love. The piece exudes a quiet elegance and peacefulness amidst the complex three-dimensional composition. The inclusion of "sisterly love" is less certain, except that taking into account the mythological background of the piece. It can be argued that one should not take that into account, so perhaps that should not formally be included in the theme.
