“À l'egard de Vénus, / Pausanias nous a appris / qu'à Thèbes on adorait / trois espèces de divinités / sous ce nom; l'une appelée / Uranie, ou la Céleste, / l'autre nommée Vulgaire, / la troisième qu'Harmonie / elle-même avait surnommée / Apostrophia.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Notebook: Artists." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086 (94); Box 6.

Inferred Fuller does not name the work; the description of three forms of Venus/Aphrodite at Thebes uniquely comes from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Book 9.
