Ornament of the Marquis de Lafayette

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a brass-colored, circular metal relief sculpture of a man's bust. The man has light-colored hair that is styled back and away from his face, with some strands framing his face. He wears a military-style jacket with epaulets on the shoulders, a high collar, and several buttons down the front. The jacket has a decorative element on the left side of the chest. The background of the sculpture is a plain circle with small tabs at the top, bottom, left, and right. The sculpture appears to be mounted on a light gray wall. The title of the work is "Ornament of the Marquis de Lafayette".
