Additional Details:
Central portrait of a woman with flowing auburn hair and a red headband, adorned with pink roses. Two circular vignettes flank the portrait: the left, labeled 'im Venusberg', depicts Venus with cherubs and attendants, and the right shows a figure (likely Tannhäuser) kneeling before a wayside cross in a wooded landscape. Sheet music is visible in the upper right background. Text at the bottom reads 'Richard Wagner-Serie N°III'. Handwritten message in French on the front.
