This drawing by David van der Kellen depicts four different plaques from a tomb, each featuring a different symbol. These four plaques, likely intended for a tomb, show a winged lion, a winged ox, a winged eagle, and an angel with a book. This detailed drawing was created before 1878 and is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum. The depiction of winged creatures and religious imagery is characteristic of this type of artwork, often used to symbolize the deceased's virtues or beliefs.
