| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Jan van Eyck's central panel from the Dresden Triptych, depicting the Virgin Mary seated on an ornate throne draped in a voluminous red robe, holding the Christ Child on her lap within a richly detailed Gothic architectural interior with arched colonnades and an elaborate floral canopy behind the throne. The image is rendered with exceptional chromatic fidelity against a polished black field border. The legend JAN VAN EYCK runs vertically along the left border and THE DRESDEN TRIPTYCH vertically along the right border. The date 2014 appears in the lower left corner of the border. |
