A soul brought to heaven. Une âme au ciel. (1878)

In this large piece titled Une âme au ciel, A soul in heaven the body of a young woman is being carefully carried by angels to the gates of  heaven. How she met her fate it is not known but her expression shows that she is without care and now at peace. Roses spill from her arms as she is transported through the sky towards her final destination where an angel waits in the distance to receive her.

The above account is my interpretation of the work and should in no way be taken as fact.
