Memorial Tablet, with Geniuses of Death and Fame [reverse]

Jean Dassier

National Gallery of Art

The image contains a circular medallic sculpture with a relief featuring two cherubic figures with wings on opposite sides of an arch. One cherub is blowing a trumpet. Below them is a decorative arch framing a central rectangular section with the engraved text "PRINCE DE CONDÉ. M. 1637." Ornate foliage and scroll patterns decorate the sides, above two meticulously carved human faces in profile. The sculpture has a bronze hue, and the signature "I. DASSIER F." is at the bottom edge of the circle.
