The text mentions their membership in the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1824, their role as Director of the Académie Royale de France in Rome in 1840, their status as a Grand Officer of the Légion d'Honneur in 1855, and their senatorial role in 1862.

The surface shows signs of aging, with patches of green patina suggesting oxidation typical for old bronze or copper alloys.
