Légende

The burial of John Wesley's mother in Bunhill Fields, Finsbury, London, 1866. The pastor, dressed in white, leads the burial service. The mourners, dressed in black, surround him. Women weep into handkerchiefs, and curious boys look into the open grave into which a man sprinkles earth from a spade he holds. Wesley's mother, Susannah, was buried in 1742.
