This print, created by Italian architect Pietro Fontana between 1772 and 1837, depicts a design for the tomb of Countess de Haro. The design features a multi-tiered structure adorned with sculpted figures, a wreath, and classical elements. It emphasizes the mourning of the family with figures draped in sorrow around a central figure lying on a bier. The print's inscription, "Mater Infelicissima Filiax Et Sibi," translates to "Most unhappy Mother, Daughters and for Herself" and further underscores the sorrowful theme of the design. This print serves as a record of Fontana's design for a monumental tomb, demonstrating the influence of neoclassical trends on funerary architecture.
