It bears a denomination of 24B and is printed in multiple colors on paper, showcasing a classic Renaissance portraiture style.
History
The painting 'La Fornarina' is a masterpiece attributed to the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael, believed to have been painted between 1518 and 1519. It is currently housed at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. The Mutawakelite Kingdom of Yemen was a state in Northern Yemen from 1918 to 1962, a period marked by significant political transitions and eventual establishment of the Yemen Arab Republic.

The identity of 'La Fornarina' herself remains a subject of scholarly debate, though she is widely believed to be Margherita Luti, the mistress of Raphael. Stamps like this serve as miniature reproductions of world-renowned art, making them accessible to a broader audience and promoting cultural exchange. The 'Mother's Day' theme adds a sentimental layer, connecting art with familial appreciation.

Stamps featuring famous artwork often hold appeal for both art and philatelic collectors. The 'La Fornarina' stamp from Yemen, especially in good condition, can be a desirable item. Its value is influenced by factors such as rarity, condition, and the specific catalog reference (Scott 310), with prices potentially ranging from a few dollars to tens of dollars depending on market demand and availability.
