This bronze medal, created by Jean-Jacques Feuchère in 1844, is a portrait of François Pierre Guillaume Guizot, a French historian and statesman. The medal features a realistic bust of Guizot in profile, with the inscription "A FRANCOIS P. G. GUIZOT 1844 AMIS ET SES ADMIRATEURS" around the edge, meaning "To François P. G. Guizot 1844 Friends and his Admirers". This work is a testament to the artistic skill of Feuchère, who was known for his intricate medallions and portraiture.
