| Reverse description | A narrative pictorial composition depicting a pivotal scene from the Legend of Saint George, in which a king consoles his daughter, the princess chosen by lot to be sacrificed to the dragon. The emotional encounter is rendered in high relief with considerable artistic detail, the surrounding field incorporating representations of the royal treasury's gold and silver wealth. The scene is engraved after the style of Benedetto Pistrucci, here reinterpreted by Angela Pistrucci. The title inscription is arranged across the upper and lower periphery of the design. |
