The memorial engraving is by Thomas Clarke (active 1797-1801) of Boston, and is often titled "There is Rest in Heaven." A man and woman in a garden weep into their handkerchiefs before a monument with George Washington's likeness on it; on the base of the memorial is inscribed "There is Rest in Heaven." Behind the young couple is the allegorical figure of Hope holding an anchor. A weeping willow hangs over the monument.Dimensions
