About this work

This drawing shows a fancy tomb design with lots of carvings. The top has a triangular roof with small figures and swirls. Below it, an arch frames a scene of a person lying down, maybe a coffin. The sides have tall columns with shields and more detailed carvings. Words like "coloured & gilded" and "Resurrection" are written in. The artist drew this as a sketch, not a finished piece. It looks like a plan for a real tomb, with parts meant to be painted gold and decorated. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
