Above the portrait, two putti fly with a laurel wreath, an inverted torch, and a palm branch. Bottom left, two children with a cross, Bible, scythe, anchor, hourglass, incense burner, and small ship. To the right of the grave, a veiled woman sits with a flame above her head, symbolizing divine inspiration. Under the image, a five-line inscription.
