Description
A pictorial bookplate on sepia tint paper with a green ink and gray shading inscribed Rene Gvillov. It looks similar to a coin surrounded by a wreath of laurels. There is a naked man kneeling with objects in both hands. There are a few lines of illegible text, perhaps a motto, beside the kneeling man.
