The Three Graces are Aglaia (Beauty), Euphrosyne (Mirth), and Thalia (Abundance).

Here they are absolutely stunning in this C2nd CE example. This Roman piece is thought to be a reimagining of a Greek sculpture.

@phistorians Not the best example, but a very rare type of coin from Markianopolis, Moesia Inferior (located in modern Bulgaria). Struck under Commodus between 177 and 192 AD, showing on the reverse, the Three Graces, in a similar pose to the sculpture shown in your post

Kharites, marble relief, 1st century BCE
