llastlybutfirstly replylemmy.worldLooks like the skeleton is called La mort Saint-Innocent. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:La_mort_Saint-Innocent_Louvre_R.F.2625.jpg "The Death of Saint Innocent", alabaster statue present in the cemetery of the Innocents from 1530 to 1786. Artist unknown. And the woman is Jeanne of Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_of_Bourbon,_Duchess_of_Bourbon "For the duchess tomb; a magnificent effigy tomb was commissioned with the effigy wearing a crown on her head and her feet resting on a lion, of which now only a stone sculpture of the cadaver monument type (now housed at the Louvre) remains."2
