Tomb of Isabelle de Melun, d. 1389, wife of Jean d'Artois, with recumbent effigy and coat of arms, in the crypt of the Collegiale Notre-Dame et Saint-Laurent, in Eu, Normandy, France. The sculpture is in white marble and she is depicted with hands in prayer, head in a nun's veil on a pillow. The head and hand of this sculpture were replaced at a later date. The crypt was redesigned by Louis Philippe after it was damaged during the French Revolution. The church was originally founded in 925 by Guillaume I, comte d'Eu, and became an abbey in the 12th century, which was destroyed during the French Revolution. Only the collegiate church remains, which is owned by the Chateau d'Eu. The church is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
