Étienne Maurice Falconet was a French sculptor, whose works embodied an emotional and lyrical part of the 18th century European Classicism.
The most-known works of Falconet were such sculptures as Milo of Croton, Music for the Château de Bellevue, and Female Gardener for the Château Cressy; Duck Hunt plaster bas-relief for the Castle of Saint Hubertus; statues Winter, Threatening Cupid, and Bather; the Monument to Peter the Great in Russia.
The envelope with an original stamp features a portrait of Étienne Maurice Falconet against the background of an image of the Bronze Horseman monument to Peter I, as well as a composition of symbols of various kinds of art: a lyre, palette, books, a quill, column and a theatre curtain.
