| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's celebrated oil painting 'The Tower of Babel' (c. 1563, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna), applied via color printing across the entire rectangular field. The composition depicts the monumental spiraling tower under construction, rendered in rich ochres, reds, and whites, rising above a panoramic Flemish landscape with a harbor, vessels, and diminutive figures of laborers and courtiers in the foreground. The scene faithfully captures Bruegel's characteristic bird's-eye perspective and meticulous architectural and narrative detail. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse. |
