Emile Diaz, Son of the Painter 1850 - 1875

"Emile Diaz, Son of the Painter" is a bronze medal by French sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye, created between 1850 and 1875. The medal depicts a bust of Emile Diaz in profile, with his name inscribed around the edge of the circular piece. Barye was known for his sculptures of animals, but he also created portrait busts, including this one of his son, a noted painter. This medal, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, highlights the sculptor's skill in capturing likeness and detail through the medium of bronze.
