"Staande broeder met een rozenkrans" (c. 1657) is a watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, known for her delicate and detailed portraits. This small-scale work depicts a monk in profile, his gaze directed downwards as he holds a rosary in his hands.

The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a testament to ter Borch's skill in capturing the essence of religious devotion through her art.
