Peace of 1814 [reverse]

Thomas Wyon, Jr.

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sculpted design on a flat, circular surface, likely a medal or coin. The central figure is seated and holding a Phrygian cap on a staff. Flanking this figure are two others: one on the left holding an olive branch and the other on the right with wings and a laurel wreath. The sculpture is bronze-colored with intricate detailing in the figures' garments and objects. The relief composition stands out from the background of the circular surface. An inscription reads "JUBILEE IN HONOUR OF THE PEACE 1 AUG. 1814." Additional details include a small image of a horse labeled "CENTENARY" and the name "R. WYON JUNR S."
