Renée Sintenis's Daphne is arguably the most beautiful expression of feminine grace. Daphne, daughter of the river god Peneios, was beset by Apollo and was transformed into a laurel tree in answer to her prayers. Sintenis suggests the transformation only in the leaves around Daphne's legs and in her hair, concentrating entirely on her fragile physicality, which already anticipates the metamorphosis in how she stretches out her limbs.
