The Three Graces [reverse] c. 16th century

This small, circular bronze plaquette, created by Italian Renaissance sculptor Danese Cattaneo around the 16th century, depicts the Three Graces, goddesses of beauty, charm, and pleasure. The Graces are depicted in a delicate and graceful pose, embracing one another, highlighting the concept of beauty and unity. The artwork's small size and detailed rendering make it a testament to Cattaneo's skill and the artistic trends of the Italian Renaissance.
