Title
English: Drawing, Sepulchral Monument for Felice Fontana, Professor of Philosophy, Padua, after 1795
Description
English: In a landscape with a view of a distant building at left, a monument to Fontana stands. It consists of a cinerary urn inscribed with "FONTANA" upon an ovoid pedestal inscribed with "QUI.GIACE.IL.GRANDE.E/ BRAVO.FONTANA.CHE.FU/ FRATE.MA.SCRISSE.DA.PRIV/ GRAN.FILOSOFO.FU.REPUBLI(ca) no/ MA.GIUSTO.E.PRUDENTE". The pedestal stands upon two steps and a base from which water pours. A woman with a roll of paper leans upon the pedestal on the left, while another one points her forefinger at the urn and holds in her left hand a snake(?). Behind the woman, an incense bowl stands upon four chincaerae legs.
