Description
The sculpture is a round medal featuring the side profile of a man with long hair and a beard. The subject appears to be an older individual with pronounced facial features and a thoughtful expression. The sculpture is made of metal, likely bronze, as indicated by its rich brown and copper tones with hints of patina. The artwork is finely detailed, capturing the intricate lines of the man's hair and the texture of his beard. Surrounding his profile are inscriptions, including the name "Auguste Vacquerie" and other textual engravings.
