This ex libris, designed by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, features a stylized white cat's head with the initials "M.H." and the Latin inscription "Ex Libris" within a black frame. De Graag, a prominent figure in the Dutch Arts & Crafts movement, created this piece between 1887 and 1924, shortly before her untimely death. The work is a simple yet striking design, characteristic of the artistic style of the time. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
