| Reverse description | A richly detailed allegorical scene in high relief: a youthful artist reclines in the foreground amid oak foliage, holding a palette and canvas, contemplating a dramatic coastal landscape with a radiant rising sun. Above, three loosely draped Muses lean inward in a arc, gazing downward as if bestowing inspiration, with stars scattered in the upper field. |
