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.

A cursory Google search will turn up a portrait of Peter
Schoenhofen. Neither the spinx, nor the angel looks anything like him.

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:
