DescriptionA woman stands at the right on the broad base of a marble monument. She wears a dress with puff sleeves, a belt, a rectangular brooch, and a shawl. Her right hand is raised to cover her face, and her right elbow rests on the base of the monument. The monument has a high, rectangular base surmounted by an urn or lamp. A weeping willow arches overhead, and flowering plants, including roses, grow in the grassy lawn at the left and right. A broad river or lake is in the background. A boat with two sails is on the water. A small Gothic church and another willow tree are on the far bank at the far left.
