"Grafschrift op prinses Anna van Hannover, 1759" is an elaborate 18th-century "funeral monument" by Pieter Jan Entrop, commemorating Anna of Hanover. The artwork is composed of various text panels arranged in a pyramid shape, typical of Dutch funeral monuments. It pays tribute to her life as a member of the Dutch royal family, with the inscription highlighting her virtues, particularly her role as a "friso's waerde vrouw" (Frisian worthy woman). The piece is likely intended to be viewed as a whole, reflecting the complexity of her life and the symbolism associated with death and mourning.
