This detailed architectural drawing by Dutch artist Hendrik Schwegman depicts a proposed monument to Louis Charles Antoine Desaix, a French general, in Paris. The monument, a tall, elaborate structure topped with a statue of a Roman-style figure, features a fountain and inscription, all meticulously drawn in fine lines. Created between 1800 and 1816, the artwork showcases the neoclassical style popular during the period. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection and reflects the trend of commemorating military heroes through grand, symbolic structures.
