Grafmonument voor een overleden vrouw 1795

Reinier Vinkeles' "Grafmonument voor een overleden vrouw" (1795) is a delicate pen and ink drawing depicting a mourning scene at a tomb. The design features a classical-inspired mausoleum with an inscription at its base, while figures grieve around a central, empty space. The scene is rendered in a soft, melancholic tone, highlighting the sentimentality of the subject matter. The monument itself suggests the enduring power of memory even in death, a common theme in Neoclassical art. The drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
