9. Liberty Leading the People shows a strong female figure. She powerfully marched forward. She looks back to make sure the people are following her lead, not wanting to leave anyone behind. Male soldiers surround her with firearms as she leads them to change and a better free life. She stands as a symbol of freedom and liberty for the French people.

7. Being considered one of the softest depictions of motherhood, A Young Mother is cast in bronze. Yet, the fabric of her dress looks soft and warm. Her facial feature and expression are simple, but her look is one of tenderness. This statue shows the intimacy between the mother and child despite her being so young.

3. Danaë depicts a young woman, who is held captive by her father. She kept away in a room to prevent her from getting pregnant. An oracle had told her that she would bear a son, who would kill her father. Zeus, the god of gods, determined to have the oracle's tale come true, turned himself into golden rain, so he could enter her chamber. Once he was in her chamber, he returned to his regular form to impregnate her.
