Tombstone of Katarzyna Opalinska of the coat of arms of Łodzia, Queen of Poland, Duchess of Lorraine and Bar, wife of Stanisław Leszczyński, in the church of Notre-Dame de Bonsecours in Nancy. The author of the tombstone is Nicolas-Sébastien Adam. Two years after Catherine Opalinski's death, in 1749, the tombstone was placed on the left side of the chancel. The visibly rejuvenated deceased is depicted wearing a dress, a long coat lined with ermine and sandals. She is kneeling before an angel pointing upwards with her left hand. The figures are on a tumulus, against the background of a pyramid. In front of the tomb is a crowned eagle. On the pedestal an inscription extolling the virtues of the deceased.
