Note:
Csaky prepared nine maquettes representing the Greek muses that were to be used to create statues adorning a new building in Budapest, regretfully the project was never completed, but the artist created these nine beautiful maquettes each with their Greek name and the traditional symbol of association.

According to Hesiod, each of the muses – all children of Zeus, were each tasked with protecting a particular art.
