Overlijden van Louisa Maria, koningin der Belgen 1850

This bronze medal, "Overlijden van Louisa Maria, koningin der Belgen," was created by Leopold Wiener in 1850 to commemorate the death of Queen Louise-Marie of Belgium. The obverse features a profile portrait of the Queen, while the reverse depicts a central figure of "Death" with a scythe, flanked by two angels. This commemorative medal, measuring just 8 centimeters in diameter, is an example of Wiener's work as a medalist. The detailed imagery on both sides of the medal effectively conveys a sense of solemnity and grief associated with the Queen's passing.
