Limestone concretion The Three Graces wooden frame mid-twentieth A6289Here is a limestone concretion representing a scene in the Antique style nicely framed in a blackened and gilded wooden frame. It represents The Three Graces Aglaé, Euphrosyne and Thalie in the company of a cherub. Goddesses who personified Beauty and Grace, the Charities or Graces among the Romans, were originally divinities of vegetation, but quickly they symbolized festive and intense life. Calcareous concretions are mineral masses (calcium carbonate) formed by precipitation around a core brought in particular by the circulation of water. Note for the state of scratches and traces of wear on the frame, traces on the plaster. We point out that the plate seems badly positioned in the frame Our many photos allow you to appreciate the quality of the objects. For the condition, thank you for detailing the photos.
