A beautifully engraved French art issue showcasing Georges de La Tour’s intimate Nativity scene, rendered in deep red-brown and black tones that highlight the dramatic chiaroscuro style of the Baroque master. Issued in 1966, this 1.00F stamp reflects France’s tradition of celebrating fine art through philately. The tender mother-and-child composition gives the design warmth and strong visual depth. Fine line engraving and rich shading make it especially attractive in mint or well-centered used condition. A desirable piece for collectors of art, religious, and classic French engraved issues.
