This elegant 1968 French semi-postal stamp features “Le Printemps” (Spring), a classical painting by Nicolas Mignard. Issued under the Red Cross program, it combines fine art with humanitarian purpose, symbolized by the prominent red cross emblem. The delicate engraving captures a graceful female figure holding a floral garland, representing renewal and the beauty of spring. The denomination “0,25 + 0,10” indicates a surcharge dedicated to charitable causes. A fine example of France’s tradition of art-themed charity issues, it appeals to both thematic and classic collectors.
