| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-dimensional sculptural interpretation of Johannes Vermeer's celebrated painting 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (c. 1665), rendered in high relief at the centre of a polished mirror-finish field. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter bust facing left, wearing a blue and yellow turban and a single pendant pearl earring, faithfully reproducing the composition of the original Dutch Golden Age masterwork. An ornamental picture-frame border in high relief surrounds the central image, with the vertical legend 'LA JEUNE FILLE À LA PERLE - J. VERMEER' inscribed along the left frame stile. A circular cartouche in the upper left corner bears a star device and the inscription 'CHEFS D'ŒUVRE DES MUSÉES', while the upper frame rail carries the date '2021' and the dedication 'LEGAAT A. A. DES TOMBE'. |
