I think it's painted.
I only know this about your stamp :
25 centimes blue : June, 19 1907. Yvert Catalog number 140
Types IA, IB, II, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC and IV
Type I, II and IIIA
Type I:
the upper part of letter c in denomination almost horizontal,
head of numeral 2 less bent,
horizontal line of numeral 2 thin and curvy.
Type II (booklets):
letter c in denomination barred,
head of numeral 2 more bent,
horizontal line of numeral 2 thicker and less curvy.
Type IIIA:
left internal frame thick and irregular,
letter c in denomination not barred,
head of numeral 2 more bent,
horizontal line in numeral 2 thick but well curvy.
Type IIIB, IIIC and IV
Type IIIB:
like IIIA but the frame is thin and the image higher.
Type IIIC (rolls):
like IIIB, vertical and sloping lines in letter R in FRANÇAISE forming acute angle.
Type IV (booklets):
letter c in denomination like in Type I,
head of numeral 2 more bent,
horizontal line of numeral 2 thicker than Type I but more curvy.

Posted is a clearer picture of the stamp with backlight from my microscope. I posted on my last thread, but at the very end and some may have misssed it. If painted, which I am sure probably is, this image shows how well it was done. Mods if this is not allowed please deleate.
