This sketch shows a fancy tomb built into a wall. It has three dark window-like shapes and a small plaque above them with numbers. On top sits a round object with lines—like a globe with circles on it. A person is drawn climbing up the side, holding a shovel. The numbers on the plaque might mean the year 1571. The tomb looks like a small building with curved edges and decorative swirls. If you like this style, check out the Renaissance movement next.
