I photographed this sculpture on Wuppertal's oldest and most beautiful cemetery. Many of the once famous families of the late 19th / early 20th century (who shaped the appearance of the city as successful entrepreneurs) have their gravesites there. If you look close you will see that this marble sculpture is a victim of vandalism which obviously doesn't even stop at cemeteries. (Notice the dirt on the right arm and the broken fingers).

At first glance, you may think that this sculpture is actually covered with translucent fabric. Take a closer look and you’ll realize that the veil isn’t textile but rather marble. That’s the marvel of The Veiled Virgin, a 19th century sculpture by Italian artist Giovanni Strazza.
