Medals
Reference:3937 Marie Francis Said Carnot, Fourth President of the French Republic, 1888
Bust of Carnot, left, draped and wearing a decoration on his left breast. Tablets of the Constitution of 25 February 1875 upon symbols of Republicanism. By Jules Clement Chaplain. Silver, 73 mm. (2.9 inches).
Condition: Extremely fine
Notes: Carnot's wonderfully coifed hair and beard demonstrate Chaplain's skills as a die engraver and medallist, the rest of the composition being no less tactile in its realism.
