This drawing by Nicolai Dajon is a design for a sarcophagus for the Gandil family tomb at Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen. The design depicts a classical relief with figures and floral motifs, reflecting the Neoclassical style popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The drawing demonstrates Dajon's skills as an architect and designer, who worked extensively on public and private buildings in Denmark. This design, created between 1748 and 1823, exemplifies the transition from Baroque to Neoclassical aesthetics in Denmark.
