I assume you meant Analog RGB and that was just a typo.

In theory, yes. You would need a fancy video conversion box which
decoded the composite signal and produced an RGB signal for the monitor.
This would be an analog process and the signal quality would be much
lower than a genuine Analog RGB source, and probably worse than looking
at the same signal on a good quality composite colour monitor.

I don't know if any such box exists. It would be simpler than a
hypothetical "composite to VGA" converter, because it doesn't need to do
a frequency conversion as well.
