The Three Graces.

Antonio Canova's neoclassical statue 'The Three Graces' is said to depict the three daughters of Zeus - Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia who represent beauty, charm and joy.  The statue came to mind when we saw the picture of Hannah, Jessica and Annie taken at Chateau Impney's Hill climb recently.
As the three young ladies posed beside their favourite cars before going in to the saturday evening ball, we certainly see beauty, charm and joy.

Hannah has chosen the 1911 28½ litre FIAT S76 ( The Beast of Turin), while Jessica enjoys the radiator's warmth from the 1909 Lorraine De Dietrich of 16½ litres and Annie leans against the 25 litre 1905 Darracq V8 which history describes as 200HP but owner Mark Walker reckons it's nearer 300HP and they didn't have the instruments to measure so much back then.
Hannah is more at home in her Morgan Super Aero and it looks like Jessica might follow in her footsteps.
