Sharjah - Renoir's 'Girl with a Watering Can'
Sharjah · 1972 · 3 DH
This stamp from Sharjah, one of the Trucial States that would form the UAE, features the famous Impressionist painting 'A Girl with a Watering Can' by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The design is presented in a 'stamp-on-stamp' format, with the painting framed by a decorative border and the country's name in both Arabic and English. It was part of a larger series celebrating masterpieces of European art.
Issued in 1972, this stamp is characteristic of the colorful topical issues produced by the Trucial States to appeal to the international philatelic market just before they fully integrated into the United Arab Emirates postal system.
