This title page, created by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch in the 17th century, is a fine example of calligraphy. The simple composition features elegant cursive writing in black ink on a cream-colored paper. The inscription in Dutch reads: "Christian Narrative of the miseries of the world, made by God's gracious mercy". It is a title page for a religious sermon, likely on themes of vanity and mortality. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
