Lady Equality and Lady Fraternity

The representation of Liberty carrying a torch (La Liberté éclairantle monde/Liberty enlighting the world) or Justice seems to be american representations. Liberté in France is mostly represented with a phrygian hat (like Marianne, who represent the Republic), as you could see on the picture Liberté menant le peuple (Liberty leading the people) by Delacroix. I could see Égalité carrying a scale as well, like Justice to represent, well, equality, but without the blindfold (which means impartiality). About Fraternité, it's more complicate I think to represent it via a single women representation. Fraternité meaning brotherhood, I think two male twin would be better.

Here is Liberty and Equality/Justice getting fraternal.
 
"Brotherhood" personified as a woman would be ... odd, to say the least.
Maybe "Liberté" is a woman, "Égalité" a child and "Fraternité" a man?
