The wise monument is freestanding with two recumbent effigies on a caen stone base on a plinth with four paris of corinthian columns supporting a coffered arch crowned with corner obelisks and armorial bearings. The soffit of the arch is decorated with cherubim in panels. Other members of the wise family, freestanding are positioned on the plinth, 2 three-quarter size kneeling figures face one another across a prie-dieu at the head of the monument and a small girl in an armchair and baby in a cradle are on the south side.
