This photograph, taken sometime between 1850 and 1930, captures a monumental tomb dedicated to the Counts and Countesses of Nassau-Dillenburg. The central figure is the Virgin Mary, holding the baby Jesus, flanked by two angels and adorned with a crown. Below, four figures, representing Engelbrecht I, Johanna van Polanen, Johan IV, and Maria van Loon-Heinsberg, kneel in prayer, each figure bearing the distinctive attire of their time. The ornate gothic details, like the delicate arches and the numerous coats of arms in the lower portion, create a visual testament to the historical significance of the individuals commemorated in the monument.
