This small, oval-shaped silver medal, created by French artist Guillaume Dupré, is a commemorative artwork celebrating the young King Louis XIII. Dating back to 1610, it showcases the king as a child, holding a crown and orb, while a female figure representing France stands before him, offering a wreath of olive branches symbolizing peace. This medal is a fine example of Renaissance-era portraiture and is a testament to the artistry of Dupré, a renowned medallist of his time.
