Mausoleum of Claude-Henry, Count of Harcourt

by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1776)
Le mausolée de Claude-Henry compte d'Harcourt

Created at the request of his widow by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, based on a contract from 1771. This ambitious white marble monument, backed against the north wall, is a precise depiction of a melodramatic composition. The sculpture shows the count emerging from the tomb, surrounded by Death, his guardian angel, and his grieving wife at his feet.
