| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of Gustave Caillebotte's Impressionist painting 'Les Périssoires' (1877), centrally positioned within an ornate decorative frame. The painting depicts two paddlers in narrow canoe-like vessels known as périssoires gliding along the calm, reflective surface of the Yerres River in France. Caillebotte's characteristic use of high viewpoint, vivid natural color, and precise rendering of light on water is faithfully reproduced in the applied color technique. The decorated border surrounding the painting enhances the presentation aesthetic of this collector issue. |
