A genoux, une paysanne avec coiffe à bonnette à fond carré rigide dépose une couronne mortuaire au pied d'un obélisque avec un casque au sommet.
Son corsage, au col haut monté, boutonné serré, comprime la poitrine. La jupe longue des paysanne étale ses larges plis, débordant le socle. Recueillie, la tête légèrement penchée, son beau visage grave, inspiré de celui de Mme Besnard, une habitante de Simon-la-Vineuse, elle tient dans ses mains la couronne mortuaire qu'elle dédie aux enfants de Sainte-Hermine.

On her knees, a peasant woman with a bonnet headdress with a rigid square base places a mortuary wreath at the foot of an obelisk with a helmet at the top.
Its bodice, with a high collar, tightly buttoned, compresses the chest. The long skirt of the peasant woman spreads its wide folds, overflowing the base. Collected, her head slightly bowed, her beautiful serious face, inspired by that of Madame Besnard, a resident of Simon-la-Vineuse, she holds in her hands the funeral wreath which she dedicates to the children of Sainte-Hermine.
