AFF Verdi Saint Kneale Joy Warner SheetMusic Marochetti Collins Draper Goodman Gori DFleischmann Marco Piero Gower Catalogue entry   Title: Tomb of Eliza Roy, Comtesse de Lariboisière Artist: Baron Carlo Marochetti   This group forms part of the tomb of Eliza Roy, Countess de Lariboisière (see main entry on the tomb). According to a report in the Gazette de France (7 June 1857), it represents an Old Man enjoying the benefits secured for him by the hospital in his declining years. This account, and others from the years immediately following its installation, informs us that this figure like the other statuary placed at this level on the tomb, was once coloured, so thickly that it was virtually impossible to see that it was carved from marble.
