Ontwerp voor een grafmonument met een gisant 1619 - 1686

This pen and ink drawing by Pieter (I) Verbruggen, dated 1619-1686, is a design for a tomb monument. It features a reclining figure, or "gisant," on a sarcophagus, with an angel above. The dynamic composition and detailed rendering of the figures and the surrounding architectural elements, are typical of Verbruggen's style. The drawing showcases his mastery of the Baroque style, which was characterized by dramatic movement, emotional intensity, and elaborate ornamentation.
