The Hansen tomb by Hans Dammann, created in 1909, in the Ohlsdorf cemetery shows a kneeling female figure on a cuboid, unadorned pedestal. The right hand, which drops a flower, is unfortunately no longer preserved. The figure of light marble is worked in detail, which is especially evident in the elaborate folds of the dress. In addition to the quiet melancholy of mourning, the figure radiates purity and youth, further emphasized by the radiant material.
Dimensions: Marble, 208 x 470 cm, Figure 110 x 90 cm
