This 16th century drawing, currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a design for two tombs. The left side features a kneeling figure, likely a deceased individual, on a pedestal with decorative elements and an inscription. The right side depicts a grander structure with two figures flanking a central archway, adorned with a coat of arms and inscription. This drawing demonstrates the artistry and architectural complexities that were employed in designing tombs during the Renaissance period.
