The representation of the "Arts"

The first image is a classic scene representing the fine arts. On a stone step to the right, a seated woman with her hair tied up, wearing a skirt and blouse, holds a painting palette and brushes in her left hand and a canvas resting on the floor in her right.

To the side, a figure of a child, naked, holding a brush and, on the left side, a female figure, with long hair. Wearing a long dress, with one shoulder and one breast bare, she holds a hammer in her left hand and a chisel in her right.

To her right, a female figure, standing, with her hair down, a robe hanging down, leaving one shoulder and one breast bare, with her left arm resting on a smooth column with a Corinthian capital.

In the background, three larger buildings and a lower one, portray the view from the docks of Porto Alegre, in 1950, with the word "ARS" above.

In the background, in the upper left corner, a female figure, with a bare shoulder, pink tunic, holding the edge of a white robe, while her right hand is extended towards a figure reaching out towards her.

The urban scene, in the background, features the dome of a cathedral and part of a building on the right and an obelisk with statues. Above the scene is the inscription “ARS”. The urban scene is a representation of Porto Alegre's Praça da Matriz.
