National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man identified as Maurice Albert, a member of the French school in Rome, dating from 1879. The subject, shown in profile facing right, has short, wavy hair and a full beard, clothed in period attire that includes a suit with a high-collared shirt. The medallion is bronze in color. The relief captures the man's facial features and attire in detail. The text encircling the portrait provides context and identification within the artwork itself.
