Tomb Monument with Skeletons 17th century

This 17th-century anonymous drawing depicts a design for a tomb monument. The monument features a central urn, adorned with elaborate ornamentation, atop a plinth. Flanking the urn are skeletal figures, their skeletal form emphasizing the theme of mortality. The inscription below the urn reads "Facti" and the date "1605." The detail of the skeletal figures and the inscription suggest the drawing was likely intended as a design for a commemorative monument, possibly for a wealthy patron. The delicate lines and careful rendering are characteristic of drawings produced during the Baroque period.
