Rosebush Growing out of a Rocky Terrain [reverse]

Charles-Jean-François Chéron

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a circular medallion with a relief depicting a single tree and landscape. The medallion is made of metal with a bronze or dark brown color, aged patina, and surface texture variations. It has a double border framing the intricate details, and a ribbon with embossed text at the top. The sculpture is relatively small and appears coin-like.
