A vertically oriented ink and watercolor drawing depicts an ornate tomb design within an arched alcove, split vertically by varying color washes. A reddish stone coffin on clawed feet rests at the base. To our left, a winged figure with flowing robes blows a trumpet. On our right, a robed figure holds a cross and crown. A bearded man with a staff sits atop the monument. Marbled patterns line the bottom.
