The image shows a bronze medal with a bas-relief sculpture. The central subject is an allegorical female figure wearing classical robes. She extends her right arm and holds a small wreath and a shield with her left hand. Two male figures stand to her left; one holds a palette and brushes, while the other is dressed in classical attire. The medal has a patterned border and is inscribed with "AMERICAN ART-UNION" and "1847." The color of the medal is natural bronze.
