Medal Commemorating the Completion of Catskill Aqueduct

Daniel Chester French

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two bronze-colored medals, side by side. The medal on the left is a relief sculpture of a woman's head in profile, facing right. The woman has short hair, a head covering, and a leafy wreath. The medal has a beaded border. The medal on the right features a relief sculpture of a nude man standing, facing right, with his arms extended in front of him, holding a large pipe on his shoulder. The man stands on a mountainous terrain. There are seven lines of raised text on the medal to the right of the man. The background is gray with a black vignette. The shadows fall to the left. The medals commemorate the Catskill Aqueduct; they are the work of Daniel Chester French.
