Charity in the Funerary Monument of Maria Christina of Austria

Domenico Marchetti (1780–1844) after Giovanni Tognolli (1786–1862) and Antonio Canova (1757–1822), etching and engraving, c. 1805

The figures accompanying Maria Christina to her final resting place represent her virtues. The end group in the cortege embodies her benevolence. A solemn female figure takes an old lame man by the arm, thereby literally offering him support.
