This circular medal, created by Jules-Clément Chaplain in 1887, is a tribute to engraver M. Henriquel-Dupont. The obverse depicts a draped female figure representing Art, with a laurel wreath, seated at a table with tools of her craft. The inscription surrounding her is a dedication to her by her students, friends, and admirers. On the reverse, a bust of the engraver is prominently featured. The medal is a beautiful example of 19th-century French medallic art.
