For the Marianne-Competition 1997, Pierre Albuisson submitted
this bright and young face with lovely hair, topped by the Phrygian bonnet. The
stylized rooster associates to the god Mercury, or the planet in our solar
system that is closest to the sun. Albuisson's design did not win a prize, but his engraving remains as an example of his fresh and light-handed
engravings, that will -- hopefully -- with time renew the classic
engravings.
On the right is shown the design that was chosen for the
stamp.
