Tomb of Elizabeth King

GV II

Figurative monument. c1922, after the Oneto monument, 1878 by
Giulio Monteverde, in the Staglieno Cemetery, Genoa; sculptor
of this monument unknown. Marble figure on rough-hewn granite
base. Square, stepped base with smoothed panel inscribed
"Waiting/I Cor.I.7." To the rear, a rough-hewn headstone with
canted, smoothed and inscribed panels in front of which stands
a larger than life size sculptured adolescent angel of
considerable quality, depicted prior to her sounding of the
Last Trump. The angel, clad in a simple but clinging and
body-revealing garment, stands resting on the right foot with
left leg crossed over and with arms crossed, the left hand
resting lightly on the shoulder, the right holding a long
trumpet with the forefinger resting on the mouthpiece.
Ringlets secured by a headband frame a face of considerable
character; large wings curve forward framing the body.
