Faith, Hope and Charity 1735 - 1745

"Faith, Hope and Charity" is a set of three wooden sculptures created by Balthasar Ferdinand Moll between 1735 and 1745. The sculptures depict the three theological virtues, each as an elegant female figure standing on a pedestal, their forms rendered in a highly naturalistic style. This set of Baroque sculptures is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The sculptures are notable for their dynamism and expressiveness, as well as their attention to detail in the drapery and the figures' features.
