This delicate pen and ink drawing by Gesina ter Borch depicts a crowned monogram of the letters GTB. The monogram is enclosed within a wreath of stylized feathers, a popular decorative element in Dutch art of the 17th century. The intricate details of the crown and the flowing lines of the monogram reflect the artist's skill and attention to detail. The drawing is likely a study for a larger work, and its simple beauty highlights ter Borch's talent as a draftsman. The piece is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
