The grave of Dora Pejačević in Našice.

The bust Tuga (Sadness) dates from 1906 and was the work of the Serbian sculptor Đorđe Jovanović: ![]() ![]() The original is kept in the composer’s room in the castle, just as it ws during her lifetime, and the sculpture at the grave is a copy. Data about the composer’s life is given in Latin on the back of the gravestone, while only DORA is inscribed on the front with the phrase Ruhe nun (i.e., Rest now, in German) from the song The Loneliest from her late work Three Tunes Op. 53, to F. Nietzsche’s verses. |
