The angel is a bog-standard off-the-shelf funerary angel whose face is based on classical faces. The sphinx is a nightmare. Whether it's Schoenhofen or not isn't important, it's the anachronistic incongruity of a realistic 20th-century face on an antique form that will put me back in therapy for another 10 years or more.

Nice photo. The Schoenhofen pyramid mausoleum was designed by a fairly well known architect, Richard E. Schmidt, but I suspect the family insisted on the angel.

It's not the angel, it's the sphinx's face!



The Schoenhofen memorial in Graceland Cemetary (Chicago, IL) is a shining example of that saying:
