| Reverse description | A richly detailed allegorical scene in high relief depicting a figure seated in the branches of a large gnarled oak tree, holding an open book, while a female figure in peasant dress stands at the base of the trunk looking upward. The background features additional oak trees and a rural landscape with fencing, evoking the fairy-tale world of Andersen's literary works. |
