    Artwork

    The sculpture features a profile relief of a young boy's head, displaying curly hair and youthful facial features, facing to the left side. This piece is set within a circular frame resembling a bronze medallion. The material appears to be bronze, giving the sculpture a dark brown hue with a metallic sheen. Surrounding the boy's profile, an inscription is visible along the edge of the medallion. The name "PAUL HUGUES CHRISTOFLE" is inscribed on the top half, with the Roman numerals "MDCCXLVI" following it. At the bottom of the medallion is the name "J VLIETTE ED DUBOUE." The medallion's craftsmanship and the boy's hair texture are finely detailed.
