Description
This work was commissioned by Count Gaetano Recchi for his brother Pietro, a patriot of Ferrara.
The figureo f the woman prayign was harshly criticised because it was modelled along the new canons of a search for natural aspects, far from the traditional canons of beauty.
The monument was sold to the Mayr family who utilised it in the monumental cemetery of Ferrara.
