About the sculpture
The reclining woman depicting Faith has two books as attributes: the Old and the New Testament. She probably once held a cross in her partly open right hand. Her pose mirrors that of Love. Between the two reclining women, there must once have stood a statue of Hope, the third Christian virtue.
