The three female figures are related to other women in other frieze of life motifs, for example, in "Separation" (Woll 344) and "Red and White" (Woll 463) ..., and can more or less be regarded as types or formulae in Munch's art. They evoke various aspects of woman and the cycle of youth, the mature woman and old age. Eggum, p. 97.
