Graf van Napoleon op Sint-Helena 1831

"Graf van Napoleon op Sint-Helena" (Tomb of Napoleon on Saint Helena) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Roelof van der Meulen (1806-1833). Created in 1831, this artwork depicts the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte on the island of Saint Helena where he was exiled and died in 1821. The drawing, now located in the Rijksmuseum, showcases van der Meulen's precise line work and attention to detail. The image depicts a simple stone structure surrounded by trees and a distant landscape, reflecting the somber and isolated nature of Napoleon's final resting place.
