This 1999 Christmas stamp from Austria features a beautifully detailed Nativity artwork by S. Buchner, engraved by W. Seidel. The design depicts the Holy Family surrounded by shepherds and angels, rendered in warm tones and fine shading characteristic of late-20th-century Austrian religious issues. Issued by Republik Österreich, it carries a face value of S7 (Schilling), shortly before the Euro transition. A desirable item for collectors focusing on Christmas themes, religious art, and modern engraved Austrian stamps.
