Tombe en bloemenmand 1688 - 1698

This anonymous 17th-century drawing, “Tombe en bloemenmand”, depicts a coffin with a wreath on top and a basket of flowers. The coffin is supported by two lion-like figures with their paws resting on what appears to be balls. The basket of flowers is positioned to the right of the coffin and contains a variety of blooms including roses, lilies, and a red flower. The drawing likely served as a design for a decorative object or a textile. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
