| Reverse description | A vivid full-color reproduction of a detail from The Tiger Hunt, the celebrated painting executed by Peter Paul Rubens circa 1615–1616, filling the entire reverse field. The scene captures an intense moment of dramatic struggle between man and beast, rendered with Rubens's characteristic vigorous brushwork, powerful musculature, and rich, warm coloration. A human figure grapples directly with a snarling big cat, the composition conveying dynamic movement and tension. The color printing technique faithfully reproduces the tonal depth and expressive energy of the Baroque original. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
