This title page for a book of recipes by Gesina ter Borch was drawn in 1646 in a beautiful swirling script, indicative of the Dutch Golden Age. The elaborate flourishes, known as "penmanship", were a popular art form in the 17th century, and showcase the artist's skill and artistry. It's now preserved in the Rijksmuseum.
