Sabine was the commonly used French definitive stamp from 1977 to 1982. It was drawn and engraved by Pierre Gandon based on the head of Hersilia, the central heroine figure in Jacques-Louis David’s painting “The Intervention of the Sabine Women” (completed 1799, housed at the Louvre). Just on the aesthetics alone of this stamp, no wonder Gandon won one of his four Grand Prix de l’Art philatélique awards for this 🏆 Have a great Sunday everyone!!! #stamps #philately #stampcollection #timbre | Thr
