This etching by Christopher Norton, dated c. 1762-1770, depicts an Etruscan tomb chamber in Tarquinia. The artwork showcases the interior of the tomb, featuring a processional mural on the back wall. The intricate ceiling beams and the remnants of the burial platform suggest a focus on the architectural details of the chamber. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the funerary practices and artistic traditions of the ancient Etruscans.
