Glasnevin Cemetery. Dublin 1963.

At Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery, a weathered stone mausoleum houses a marble sculpture reminiscent of a Pietà. A seated woman with a sorrowful expression cradles a male figure across her lap, her hand gently holding his head. The monument’s thick pillars and frieze are intricately carved with Celtic knotwork. In the background, the 1963 cemetery landscape is dotted with tombstones and prominent Celtic crosses, while a small group of people stands among the graves.
