This 19th-century design by Charles Monblond depicts a monogram surmounted by a crown. The monogram, likely for a noble family, is rendered in a stylized, ornate script with flourishes and swirls. The crown, with its pointed arches and ornate details, suggests a royal or aristocratic lineage. The design is presented within a gridded frame, indicating a careful approach to composition. The artwork's decorative nature and meticulous detail point to its function as a design for a decorative object, likely a piece of jewelry or a heraldic emblem. The inclusion of the inscription "Monogramme surmontée d’une couronne" further reinforces the piece's decorative purpose.
