This statue us called the Angel of Grief, it is a 1894 sculpture by William Wetmore Story which also serves as the grave stone of the artist and his wife at the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. There are many more replicas through out the World. There are 3 in the San Francisco Bay Area in California alone. Most notably is the one that is at the Stanford Mausoleum at Stanford University, which replaced the one created in 1901 that was destroyed after the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

The Angel of Grief statue is one of my favorite statues that I visit often. [Grieve Not] is from one of my favorite cemeteries where she resides.
