This drawing by French artist Jean Chafourier is a design for the Castellan Tomb in the Saint Germain-des-Prés church, Paris, completed between 1700 and 1724. The design is a detailed architectural plan, depicting the tomb's intricate structure. The central column and the flanking draped figures, likely allegorical figures, are prominent. The empty space within the tomb's architecture suggests the drawing was intended for a specific patron. The overall design emphasizes the tomb's grandeur and solemnity.
