Freestanding, raised funeral monument supported by lions and balusters. On top of the monument a sleeping man (gisant) is placed wearing his armor. On the corners of the monument angels are placed holding blank coats of arms. In the background on the right, four steps lead to an arched opening through which a second doorway is visible. Below the image a Latin text is placed, made up out of eight lines divided over two columns.
