| Reverse description | A frontal elevation of the Romanesque south portal of the collegiate church of St. Paul im Lavanttal fills the field, engraved by Herbert Wähner with meticulous architectural detail. The portal features a large rounded archivolt supported by flanking columns with carved capitals, enclosing ornate double doors surmounted by a sculpted tympanum depicting a figural relief. Arched windows with decorative surrounds flank the portal on either side, and low shrubbery is rendered along the base. The composition is strictly symmetrical, emphasizing the monumental character of the Romanesque facade. |
