This attractive 1977 Romanian issue honors celebrated national painter Nicolae Grigorescu, featuring reproductions of his pastoral masterpieces “Ciobănașul” (The Shepherd Boy) and “La Fântână” (At the Well). The stamps beautifully capture rural Romanian life, a signature theme in Grigorescu’s work, rendered with soft impressionistic tones. Art-thematic collectors and European fine-arts topical collectors particularly value this issue for its cultural importance and classic design presentation. Well-preserved mint pairs or thematic sets are especially desirable for art-focused exhibits.
