André Galle's "Inscription [reverse]" is a bronze medal created in 1820, measuring 5.67 cm in diameter. The inscription on the reverse depicts a laurel wreath surrounding a message celebrating the placement of two sculptures, "Les Sabines" and "Leonidas," in the museum by the King. The inscription reads: "L’École Française reconnaissante / Les Sabines / Leonidas / Placés au Musée / Par la munificence / Du Roi. / MD CCC XX." This medal serves as a historical record of artistic patronage and the recognition of Galle’s work.
