I have always found this a curious work.
Heres a young girl, probably Marguerite herself, does not appear to be sad or grieving or otherwise in anguish but mildly curious about the person standing in front of her grave. Curious for all eternity, of course, but still. . .

Jules Lewin (1847-1915) division 93 Pere-Lachaise
This isn't just a figure resting on a tomb lamenting the passing of the one buried beneath; it is someone who is in such great pain as to drive her to drape herself over the cold marble like a human shroud, forever placing that last kiss on the broken column representing a life cut short.

Lagarde-Gueret division 93 Pere-Lachaise
For me this sculpture is strikingly simple, and it's not really it's artistic aesthetics that appeal to me so much as how it seems to encapsulate perfectly what actually transpires in this cemetery. . .
