Portrait of a Man [obverse]

Regnault Danet

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man wear a cap with a textured, folded section around the head. The material is a brownish metal, likely bronze or a similar alloy. The surface of the medallion is slightly worn. Around the edge of the medallion are inscribed words: "FAIRE", "DIRE", and "BIEN", with "BIEN" appearing upside down. The man's facial features are finely crafted, with a prominent chin and nose, and his expression appears neutral.
