John Bacon the Elder's "Sketch for a Funeral Monument" is a preliminary study for a larger monument, likely a funerary sculpture. The artwork, dated to the 18th century, depicts two figures, likely mourners, seated before an urn, alluding to the deceased. The composition is rendered in a simple, linear style, typical of preparatory drawings, with a focus on the arrangement of the figures. The work is held in the Art Institute of Chicago.
