"Ex libris van Hanna Ráczné Zerkowitz" is a 1932 woodcut by Hungarian artist Kornél Révész (1885-1944). The artwork features a stylized, almost medieval, depiction of a woman in a flowing gown, holding a lily and surrounded by roses. The design is framed in a simulated stained glass window. This piece is a classic example of bookplate art, a genre which incorporates designs that represent the owner of the book. The work's use of vibrant colors, intricate details, and stylized figures are typical of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in Hungary in the early 20th century.
