It looks based on The Kiss of Death monument in Spain, which is older by far and seen in Barcelona ...via wiki, under The Kiss of Death (sulpture) :
"... a marble sculpture located in Poblenou Cemetery in Barcelona. The sculpture is believed to have been crafted by Jaume Barba in 1930, as his signature is present on the side of the sculpture.
