In pastelltonigem Kolorit, lebendig gestaltete Gruppe aus der sog. "Großen russischen Bestellung" für Zarin Katharina II. von Russland, genannt Katharina die Große, entworfen im Jahre 1774 von Johann Joachim Kaendler als Versinnbildlichung, dass "das Leben der Zarin von der längsten fort dauer bleiben möge" (lt. Arbeitsbericht Kaendlers). Indem Chronos Atropos daran hindert den Lebensfaden zu zerschneiden, schützt er im übertragenen Sinne das Leben der Kaiserin.
