In Honor of Henry Lozé, Prefect of Police of Paris 1892

"In Honor of Henry Lozé, Prefect of Police of Paris" is a bronze medal by Louis-Oscar Roty from 1892. The medal depicts a seated woman, likely representing the city of Paris, in a contemplative pose, looking out at a cityscape with a writing desk to her right. This is a fine example of Art Nouveau style, featuring a stylized, almost abstract, depiction of the human form and the inscription “REGARDE – ECOUTE – VEILLE”. The medal is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
