Stake attention in this memory
A large stone allegorical sculpture, likely crafted from marble or limestone, is depicted centrally, enclosed behind a dark grey or black metal protective cage. The sculpture features a draped female figure, approximately life-size or larger, with an upward-swept hairstyle and a placid expression, looking downward and to her right. Her right arm rests upon the back of a powerful lion figure, whose head is turned left with its mouth slightly open in a grimace or roar. A smaller, nude child-like figure (putto) is positioned below the female figure and to the left of the lion, appearing to engage with or grapple the lion. The entire sculptural group rests on a multi-tiered stone plinth, which is further supported by a simple, unpainted wooden platform. The background consists of plain, light-colored stone walls showing signs of age and staining, with a dark, possibly vaulted ceiling visible at the top. To the right of the sculpture, a dark, rectangular recess or opening is present in the wall. The scene is artificially lit from above, highlighting the sculpture. This sculptural group represents an allegorical figure of Fortitude from the **Tomb of Maurice de Saxe**, located within the **Église Saint-Thomas (Saint Thomas Church) in Strasbourg, France**.
