This illustrated sheet is dedicated to François Rouan and his work "Volta faccia," as indicated on the front. It is a first-day cover (First Day of Issue) published by the CEF, intended for philately. The item features a black and white reproduction of the work "Volta faccia," characterized by a complex graphic style, composed of intertwined shapes and stylized faces, typical of the artist. On the right side of the sheet, a printed text details François Rouan's artistic approach and his career, presented neatly on cardstock with a thin border.

At the bottom right, there is a franked postage stamp, accompanied by a First Day cancellation dated "20 NOV. 1991 PARIS," confirming the authenticity of the philatelic document. The stamp features the illustration of the "Volta faccia" work, highlighting the consistency between the graphic ensemble and the philatelic item. The printing and presentation are clean, with no major visible defects on the front.

The sheet is perforated on the left side, allowing for easy storage in a philatelic album. The text in the margin of the page mentions the reference "N° 1087 of the CEF catalog," which attests to the official edition by the CEF (Cercle des Émetteurs Français). The sheet is numbered "527" at the bottom left, indicating a limited edition, and the mention of a total print run of 20,500 copies, including 13,500 on silk, is visible.
