Landschap met obelisk ter ere van het koningschap van George II Augustus, koning van Engeland, in oktober 1727 1727

This anonymous 1727 drawing depicts a landscape scene featuring an obelisk erected in honor of King George II Augustus of England. The obelisk, adorned with a golden orb and cross at its apex, stands tall against a soft, pale sky, its simple form dominating the composition. The inscription on the base of the monument is barely visible but likely commemorates the King’s ascension to the throne in October 1727. The artist's use of a muted palette and delicate linework creates a sense of quiet contemplation, fitting for this tribute to a powerful ruler.
