Jacques Edouard Gatteaux's "Design for a Medal Commemorating the Treaty of Paris, 1814" is a drawing depicting a circular medal design featuring four monarchs shaking hands, symbolizing the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The design, dated 1809-1819, is an excellent example of Neoclassical style, evident in the depiction of the monarchs and the inscription around the medal. The design is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
