It is a bronze sculpture set on and backdropped by black granite. It was created by American sculptor Lorado Taft in 1909. ==History== ''Eternal Silence'' is a monument in Graceland Cemetery to Dexter Graves, who led a group of thirteen families who moved to Chicago from Ohio in 1831.〔Lanctot. Barbara, ‘’A Walk Through Graceland Cemetery: A Chicago Architecture Foundation Walking Tour’’, A Chicago Architecture Foundation Walking Tour, Chicago, IL, 1992 P. 6〕 He died in 1844, and the monument was commissioned from sculptor Lorado Taft in 1909 by Graves' son Henry Graves.〔 In Ada Bartlett Taft's 1946 ''Lorado Taft; Sculptor and Citizen'', it was listed as one of his most important works.〔Kiefer, et al., pp. 146–47.〕 Images of ''Eternal Silence'' have been used in other artworks, including works by Claes Oldenburg.〔 One folktale claims that if an unsuspecting viewer were to look into the eyes of ''Eternal Silence's'' hooded figure, the viewer would be shown a vision of his or her own death.〔
