Medaille met portret van Claude François Lallemand after 1835

This is a portrait medal of Claude François Lallemand created by French sculptor Achille Collas after 1835. The medal shows a profile view of Lallemand’s head. The subject is a French surgeon who worked in the military and made significant contributions to the field of medicine, especially in regards to surgery and battlefield medicine. Collas is known for his work in portraiture, notably his work with medals. This medal would have been a commemorative piece, perhaps commissioned to honor Lallemand's achievements. The detailed rendering of Lallemand's face suggests a likeness meant to capture his physical characteristics, possibly for a more personal connection to him.
