| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed allegorical composition dominated by a large owl with spread wings perched atop two theatrical masks, referencing Restif de la Bretonne's nocturnal observations of Parisian society. A quiver with arrows is visible to the lower left, alluding to his libertine novels. The birth and death dates 1734 and 1806 appear in the field, with titles of his major works inscribed around the border and in the field. |
