This bronze medal, created by Jean-Désiré Ringel d'Illzach in 1884, portrays the French playwright Émile Augier in profile. The medal, a circular relief sculpture, is a classic example of the genre and a testament to Ringel d'Illzach's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject. The inscription "Emile Augier" is prominently featured above the bust, while the artist's signature and the date "MDCCCLXXXIV" are inscribed at the bottom. The medal is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
