Skulpturen af den knælende kvinde med blomster kan ses på Assistens Kirkegården i Svendborg.
Skulpturen som er lavet i bronce og placeret ovenpå en cement sokkel er ca 75 cm høj. Det forestiller en kvinde der knæler, og lægger en buket blomster foran sig. Faktisk er kvinden halvt nøgen, da hun kun er iført et skørt.
Skulpturen er bagerst ved familiegravstedet. Der er ingen oplysninger om kunstværket.
På gravstenen står.
Advokat Aage Ludvig Holberg Elmquist
18-5-1888 - 20-9-1962
Justitsminister 1945-1947
Medlem af Folketinget 1927-1932 og af Landstinget 1939-1953
Medlem af Svendborg Byråd 1937-1945
Omkring denne gravsten er der flere mindre gravsten på familiemedlemmer. Det er usædvanligt med en skulptur af denne slags på en grav. Skulpturen er sandsynlig skænket fordi Elmquist har været både justitsminister og medlem af det danske Folketing.

Around this tombstone there are several smaller tombstones on family members. It is unusual to have a sculpture of this kind on a grave. The sculpture was probably donated because Elmquist has been both Minister of Justice and a member of the Danish Parliament.
