Monument voor Hendrik Danielsz. Hooft, 1794 1794

This is a pencil drawing of the proposed monument for Hendrik Danielsz. Hooft. It is a design for a monumental structure located within a park setting. The design depicts a large, decorative obelisk, with a prominent inscription and an inscription on the obelisk that reads "ELI SEVM." It was likely commissioned in 1794, and the design is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing's simple composition and minimal detail offer a glimpse into the design process of a grand public monument.
