The Tomb of Elizabeth I is a 1620 ink by Magdalena van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a grand, ornate tomb with a reclining figure. The tomb is surrounded by columns and topped with a coat of arms and a lion. The figure on the tomb is covered with a cloak and a crown, and there are statues of lions and other creatures around the tomb. The engraving is very detailed, with intricate lines and patterns. It looks like it was made using a technique called cross-hatching, which involves layering lines to create texture and shading. The overall effect is one of grandeur and monumentality.
