Description: This is an official postal definitive issue from Spain (España), released as part of an elegant multi-value fine arts series. The main illustration faithfully replicates El Quitasol (The Parasol), an iconic oil painting executed by the legendary Spanish master Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. The scene captures a fashionable young woman reclining while a sharply dressed companion stands behind her, holding a large shaded umbrella over her head to block out the midday sun. The top right corner contains the designation "CORREOS," while the primary denomination is clearly framed in the top left corner as "15 CTS" (15 Céntimos). Centered in large block typography along the lower base, the country label reads "ESPAÑA," flanked on both sides by symmetric, stylized scroll ornaments. The absolute bottom margin attributes the work with a left-aligned note reading "EL QUITASOL (GOYA)" and credits the national state printing works via the right-aligned initials "F.N.M.T.".
