Madame Jeanne-Mathilde Claude 1887

This bronze medal, "Madame Jeanne-Mathilde Claude," is a portrait of a woman in profile, created by Jules-Clément Chaplain in 1887. The detailed rendering of her features, including her elaborate hairstyle and the delicate folds of her clothing, showcases Chaplain's skill in portraiture and medallic art. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the portraiture style of late 19th-century France.
