Thanks to the soft polished marble, the texture of the sculpture is smooth on Apollo and Daphne. The lower part of the sculpture and Daphne's body have a rough texture which shows how intense and dramatic the scene is. Daphne's hair appears coarse as she transforms, while the god Apollo's hair appears smooth and wavy like the soft fabric of the luxurious robe. Another structure found within the sculpture are the leaves, which bear a close structural resemblance to real leaves. The focal point of this sculpture is Daphne because there are more details in her than in Apollo. Apollo is as detailed as Daphne, but even though Daphne is not the focus of the photograph or the sculpture itself, she tells the whole story through body language and transformation. Apollo and Daphne are realistic in scale and proportion, showing the beautiful but tragic incident between the two lovers. Although the situation that occurs between Apollo and Daphne is dark, the dimension of the couple represents a deeper meaning. The scale tells us to appreciate those you love because they could be gone in an instant, showing that you never know what you have until it's gone. There are multiple lines implied on this sculpture. An implicit line is formed from the hand of Apollo to that of Daphne. Apollo's legs form a triangle while Apollo's robe forms an implied line towards Daphne's hand.
