It is unknown whether this tombstone and the adjacent sarcophagus was intended to actually be used as such...or whether the intention was to have it serve as a work of art. The plaque at the site merely informs us:
"Carl Wollek
SARCOPHAGUS AND TOMBSTONE FIGURE FOR ADRIENNE NEUMANN, 1912
Bronze
Wien Museum"
The bronze work is about 4.5 feet tall and depicts a young woman wearing a long gown caressing something...a bouquet of flowers perhaps?
