description In 1914, following the death of his wife Sidonija née Struppi, Vatroslav Jagić, a scholar of Slavic philology, commissioned a monument for her final resting place. Located on the northern side of the oldest part of the Varaždin City Cemetery, a black marble obelisk with a bronze sculpture marks the Jagić family tomb. A woman in a richly pleated dress sits on the right corner of the plain obelisk, which is signed by the Slovenian stonemason Feliks Toman. Valuable information on the provenance, commission, creation, and installation of the monument can be found in extensive correspondence sent by Jagić to his family members and acquaintances. In light of its signature and the information in the correspondence, this article reviews two current attributions of the grave monument: to Croatian sculptor Ivan Rendić and Slovenian sculptor Ivan Zajec.
