William Zorach created this small sculpture as a study for the monumental Three Graces. The three Graces of Greek mythology represent fertility, charm, and beauty, qualities much like Zorach’s interests in life and in art, including nature, youth, motherhood, and lovers. Three Graces also brings together his fascination with the female form and his admiration for ancient Greek art.
