Reverse description A detailed perspectival view of the Convent of Saint John at Müstair (Claustra da Müstair), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, occupies the central field. The composition depicts the monastery complex in three-quarter view, featuring the prominent square bell tower, the Carolingian church with its pitched roof, ancillary chapels, and the fortified perimeter wall with battlements. The curved legend 'CLAUSTRA DA MÜSTAIR' arcs along the upper left rim in relief lettering. The engraver's signature 'H. P. v. Ah' appears in small incuse lettering in the lower right field. The finely modelled architectural rendering is set against a frosted background, highlighting the depth and detail of the design.
