| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Diego Velázquez's celebrated painting 'Venus del Espejo' ('The Rokeby Venus'), executed between 1647 and 1651 and now housed in The National Gallery, London. The composition depicts the reclining nude figure of Venus viewed from behind, gazing at her reflection in a mirror held by Cupid, faithfully rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel against the painting's characteristic warm tonal palette. The legend 'VENUS DEL ESPEJO' is inscribed within the field in Latin script. The square format of the flan lends itself to the landscape orientation of the original canvas composition. |
