Personifications of Trust and Industry in a Landscape [reverse]

Louis-Oscar Roty

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round bronze medallion with a sculptural relief of two women. One woman stands upright while the other is seated. Both women wear classical-style draped garments. The standing woman gestures towards something in the distance. The background includes structures and trees, suggesting a rural setting. The bronze material gives the medallion a metallic appearance with a polished and variegated texture. The words "CONFIANCE ET TRAVAIL" are at the top, and "PAUL LEROY-BEAULIEU" is inscribed at the bottom. The scene is detailed, providing a sense of depth and realism to the figures and background.
