Design for a funerary monument, 1762, executed with minor alterations (1)
Notes
The pedestal in this design is ornamented with a relief depicting the seasons, in reference to Thomson's most celebrated work of poetry, Seasons.
The executed monument makes use of alternative consoles, and the figure of Thomson is shown in middle age, rather than in youth as in this drawing.
