Description
This bobbed beauty decorates the John Campbell Maben (d. 1924) and Virginia Maben (d. 1912) grave monument in Green-Wood Cemetery, in Brooklyn, NY.
Typical funerary art of the Victorian era depicts angels weeping, praying, holding flowers or stretching hands out to touch the tombstone, soft maidenly features, long flowing tresses.
THIS is an angel for a bold modern age! Her pose is unusual; hands across her chest in a sensual stance of mock modesty, juxtaposed with intense and powerful stare that pierces; She appears to be more just hanging out there than doing anything spiritual. Still her features are heavenly, I'd love to find out more about the person who modelled for it.
“Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim. (Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.)” ― Ovid.
