At the centre of the group an angel stands looking up to the heavens with arms outstretched. Her plinth is raised above those at the sides, where on the left a man in his thirties wearing a contemporary suit and cloak is slumped at her feet and on the right Hercules, identified by his lion-skin cloak, is equally grief-stricken. The inscription on the front of the plinth is framed by the symbols of the four evangelists and by enamels – three with flowers, one with the family coat of arms.
