| Reverse description | Rectangular flan featuring a colorized reproduction of a detail from Michelangelo's celebrated Sistine Chapel fresco The Creation of Adam (circa 1508–1512), depicting the iconic moment in which the divine and human hands approach one another across a vast expanse of sky. The composition faithfully renders the soft azure and cerulean tones of the heavenly background, with a rocky foreground element visible at lower right. The image is rendered across the full surface of the rectangular planchet in a painterly, high-fidelity color application, constituting the first panel in a twelve-part series dedicated to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel masterwork. |
