This anonymous drawing from the 16th century depicts a complex monogram of the letters "IHS" - a common abbreviation for the name of Jesus in Latin - surrounded by a sunburst and flanked by two angels. The monogram is formed from ribbons tied together, creating a three-dimensional effect. The angels are depicted with wings outstretched, as if to reveal the sacred symbol. The intricate detail and symbolic composition are typical of religious artwork from this period, demonstrating the artist's skill and devotion. The artwork is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery in Western art.
