This bronze relief, created by Johan Melchior Faddegon in 1898, depicts Johan Hendrik Nicolaas Ruijsch van Dugteren, the provost of the Mint Guild in Utrecht. The piece is a portrait medal, featuring a detailed profile view of Ruijsch van Dugteren at work, with a background of architectural details, possibly symbolizing the Mint building. Faddegon's skilled use of relief sculpture creates a three-dimensional effect, capturing the sitter's likeness and the intricate details of his surroundings. This medal is a testament to Faddegon's ability to portray both realistic detail and symbolic meaning in his work.
