"Ontwerp voor een ex libris met de letter H" is a design for a bookplate featuring the letter "H" by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, dating from between 1887 and 1924. The design features a stylized letter "H" enclosed in a circle, surrounded by intricate Art Nouveau flourishes. De Graag's work was often characterized by her innovative use of line and form, making this bookplate a fine example of her artistic style. Today, the design is held in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its artistic merit.
