White Horse, by Gaugin
Part of the eight stamp series of famous masterpieces, it is embossed with with brushstrokes to, as closely as possible, replicate the artist's original work. It is lacquer coated to increase durability, and to make it shinier like a painting, and on stiff, quite thick paper.

You found some beautiful whites. That first stamp is fascinating, and the snow drops are a favorite
ReplyDeleteI've never seen snowdrops, and wouldn't try to grow them as I don't really have plantable shade.
DeleteInteresting stamp from Bhutan and a lot of thought gone into it. Snowdrops are always a welcome sight.
ReplyDeleteThe stamp from Bhutan is a reat find. I have never seen anything like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's unusual, and at first it seemed fake. It's so thick, with no edges like stamps have. The back is shiny like it's the licking kind of stamp. I guess it would be at that age.
DeleteI was so excited to see we have snowdrops blooming now. Bhutan's stamp is quite original.
ReplyDeleteSnowdrops are so cute!!! (the poodles are too :-))
ReplyDeleteWhite is an interesting color to feature. Yet, it is a color. Nice selection.
