Medalist, French, 1788 - 1856

The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a detailed profile relief of a man's face, emphasizing facial features such as the nose, chin, and hair. The man's gaze is backward, and he appears to have a scarf or textured garment around his neck. The medallion is made from a metallic material with a bronze-like color. The hair and fabric show meticulous craftsmanship, and there is signature writing on the right side within the circular frame.
