The ATM issue reproduces the totality of the painting, a great example of the pictorial realism that characterizes the work of the artist.

For the curiosities lovers, in the center of the painting it appears a letter stuck to the wall with sticky tape. The letter is adressed to the postal adress of the artist in Madrid. It has a URGENT (EXPRESS) stamp and the franking is composed by two definitive stamps (S.M.D. Juan Carlos I (1985-1992) series).
To the right, a fragment of a very damaged painting with a view of Plasencia and its two cathedrals.
