This 1758 engraving by Raux titled "Grafmonument met vaas" is a detailed architectural design for a classical tomb. The monument is composed of multiple levels with a central urn and a large inscription. It features Roman-inspired architectural elements like a pediment, columns, and a decorative garland. The image, which is a design for a tomb, exemplifies the 18th-century interest in classical antiquity, with its emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and the use of classical motifs. This detailed design, likely for a commemorative monument, would have been admired by architects and patrons alike in the 18th century.
