This 1885 medal, created by French sculptor Louis-Oscar Roty, pays tribute to Henri Bouley, President of the Academy of Sciences, 1884–85. The medal features a profile portrait of Bouley, rendered in a realistic style, and is inscribed with his name and title, along with the name of the institution. This work, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcases Roty's talent for capturing likeness and detail in a small format. It stands as a testament to the legacy of Bouley's scientific achievements and his role in the Academy of Sciences.
