Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's gravesite is in Paris' Montparnasse Cemetery. The gravesite has a pedestal with a scultped female angel flying above. The pedestal also has a circular relief of Bartholdi- and presumably his wife. The bottom of the pedestal and the tomb itself have a sculpted cloth drape along the right side.
No information was found concerning whether the angel is one of Batholdi's works or some other artist.
