The Teresina Vasco Monument is a public artwork by Andrea Sichi, located at Glenwood Cemetery in Washington, D.C., United States. "Teresina Vasco Monument" was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1994. It serves as the final resting place for the young Teresina Vasco.[1]
This sculpture shows a full-size portrait of a girl (Teresina Vasco) sitting in a small rocking chair. Her feet and the chair are placed on a pile of flowers, which sits on a square base at the head of a tombstone. She looks off to the right and her proper left arm rests on the arm of the chair. She wears a dress with a lace collar and her hair is curly and tied back in bows.
The bottom front of the tombstone is inscribed:
