| Reverse description | The reverse presents a Chagall-inspired composition depicting the biblical figures of Jacob and Rachel rendered in a dreamlike, floating manner evocative of Marc Chagall's signature style, symbolizing their celestial and enduring love. The two figures appear suspended above a pastoral hillside landscape, which features a flowering plant and a flock of sheep in the lower field. The overall artistic treatment employs fluid, lyrical forms characteristic of Chagall's romantic biblical imagery. |
