The monument is made of white Italian marble and installed on the grave of Zinaida, the granddaughter of Sumy sugar factory and philanthropist Kharitonenko. As the entry in the metric book of the Trinity Church for 1889 says, Zinaida died on May 7 and was buried on May 8 at the age of 8 years. The column of the cause of death indicated - "from diphtheria".
The monument was ordered by the inconsolable parents of a girl who left them at such a young age, when the human soul is still pure and sinless, like an angel's. That is why the sculptural composition received the name with a very precise meaning embedded in it - "Two Angels".
Before reaching Sumy, the sculpture was shown in Paris at an exhibition at the Salon of 1891 and, according to the catalog, had the number 2418 and the name "Deux Anges".
Location: Central City Cemetery, just behind the Peter and Paul Church.
