Grafmonument voor Johannes van den Bergh en zijn vrouw Joanna van Teylingen in de Pieterskerk te Leiden 1757 - 1820

This drawing by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos (1731-1820) depicts a monument for Johannes van den Bergh and his wife Joanna van Teylingen, located in the Pieterskerk in Leiden. Created between 1757 and 1820, the monument's ornate design includes two cherubs flanking the inscription, highlighting the couple's virtues. The elaborate, rococo-style framework is adorned with a skull, a symbol of mortality. Delfos's detailed depiction provides insight into 18th-century Dutch funerary art and the symbolic language used to commemorate the deceased.
