12 x 18" Ester is buried in Genoa; the ceiling is in a palace in Turin. I photographed it & the marble statue of her (sculpted by Benetti in 1885) in 2016. She was a wealthy heiress, her hauteur masking a sensitivity, even insecurity, who married well but after 5 children and 14 years of marriage, she died at 32 in one last childbirth.
