This drawing shows a lone figure in a tomb-like space. The person is draped in flowing robes, leaning on one arm with their head resting on their hand. Above them, a carved stone arch frames the scene, and Latin text runs down the side. The figure looks sad, almost lost in thought. The drawing was made to honor someone named Nicolai Wanostrocht, as noted in the text. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
