Whistler Medal (reverse)

Victor D. Brenner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The rectangular plaque is gold-colored and made of metal. The plaque has a raised peacock on the left side with its head held high and long feathers trailing down. The peacock's body faces right; its head is turned to the right and slightly upward. The right side of the plaque features a quote in French, “Messieurs les Ennemis!”, in raised letters. A small bird in flight is on the bottom right. The top right corner has the raised letters, “V.D.Brenner Sc.” The plaque sits on a gray surface against a gray background that is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.
