"Design for a sepulchral monument in the form of a pulpit" is a pen and ink drawing by Pieter Verbruggen the Younger, created between 1686 and 1724. The artwork depicts a detailed design for a monument, featuring a pulpit with a draped cloth, a skull, and a figure seated on the top of the structure.
