The scene depicts a famous episode of the Italian litterature when the poet Dante Alighieri saw Beatrice Portinari walking in Florence. The landscape on the background shows the Florentine bridge on the Arno. The large stone is pointed and faceted in the backside. Nice neo-renaissance revival scene.
