| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Caspar David Friedrich's iconic Romantic oil painting Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog (c. 1818), presented within an ornate gilt frame occupying the entirety of the square reverse field. The scene depicts a lone figure seen from behind, dressed in a dark frock coat and holding a walking stick, standing atop a rocky promontory and gazing out over a misty, fog-filled mountainous landscape. The vivid color printing faithfully reproduces the original palette of the painting, contrasting the dark foreground rocks with the pale, atmospheric haze of the background peaks. The decorative gilded frame surrounding the image is rendered in sculptural relief, echoing the presentation style of a framed masterwork. |
