Picture and image of the stone sculpture of a  mourning widow who is bringing a crown and knocking on a sepulcher's bronze door, which holds the bas relief of an hourglass, a classic symbol of the passing of time. This theme of the sorrowful survivor in front of the sepulcher's door comes from the Monument dedicated to Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen, Maria Theresa of Austria's daughter, a neoclassical sculpture. In this version the widow is wearing fashionable clothes, which have been accurately represented, and her openwork shawl. Sculptor G. B. Cevasco 1875. Section A, no 38, The monumental tombs of the Staglieno Monumental Cemetery, Genoa, Italy
