Description: This vintage postage stamp features a highly detailed reproduction of the famous 1826 oil painting Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi by the legendary French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. The central artwork showcases an allegorical female figure personifying the nation of Greece, dressed in traditional costume with her arms spread wide in a tragic yet defiant gesture amidst shattered stone blocks. In the background, a dark, turbulent sky hangs over a turbaned warrior planting a victory banner. The bottom border displays the bilingual country designation "ΕΛΛΑΣ-HELLAS," balanced on the right by the face value "ΔΡ. 3" (3 Drachmai). A distinct, circular black postal cancellation mark arches across the lower perforation line.
