DescriptionTwo men stand on each side of a grave monument in the form of a pillar or truncated obelisk on a stepped base. Each man wears a coat, vest, shirt, necktie, and trousers. The man on the left holds his top hat behind his back. The man on the right wears his top hat. The memorial appears to be made of marble and has a five-pointed star at the top. A rosebush with roses on it grows behind it. Grass and small plants grow in front. An iris grows at the right. Gravestones, one with the head and wings of an angel on it, are in the background. Vines grow in garlands around the trunk of a weeping willow in the right background.
