This drawing, created by Jean-Michel Moreau the Younger between 1770 and 1790, presents three design proposals for a funerary monument. Each design features a portrait medallion surrounded by laurel leaves and a plaque with an inscription, "D.O.M." (Deo Optimo Maximo, "To the Best and Greatest God"). The designs vary in their architectural details and ornamentation, showcasing the artist's skill in decorative and architectural elements. This work reflects the aesthetic preferences of the late 18th century, blending classical motifs with elegant and refined details, typical of the Neoclassical style.
