| Reverse description | A winged allegorical figure of Boreas, the god of the north wind, strides forward in a dynamic composition, blowing a powerful gust that drives back an armored classical warrior. In the background, a desolate wintry landscape features a burning cannon carriage, fallen soldiers, and bare trees. The signatures DENON D. and GALLE F. appear in the left and right fields respectively. The two-line inscription appears in the exergue below a horizontal line. |
