This plaster cast is a direct copy from the marble original relief found on the side of a cenotaph for Countess Anna Maria Porro Lambertenghi. The cenotaph, housed at the Villa Reale, is a monument commissioned to Thorvaldsen in 1817 by the deceased's husband, Luigi Porro Lambertenghi.  On the main face of the monument, a representation of the deceased is carved in bas relief comforting her husband who is in the act of raising his arm to heaven. Flanked to his right with his son kissing the mother's funeral urn.

About the author:
Thorvaldsen
Thorvaldsens Museum opened on 18 September 1848 and was the first public museum building in Denmark. The characteristic museum building was built to exhibit the extensive life’s work of the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) and today still looks more or less as it did when it opened over 150 years ago. Thorvaldsens Museum also contains Thorvaldsen's drawings and sketches for sculptures and reliefs. In addition Thorvaldsen was a passionate collector, so the museum also exhibits his extensive collections of paintings from his own time and collections of artworks and objects from Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiquity. The museum also shows changing exhibitions that go into greater depth with aspects of the permanent collections, including contemporary art.
