Jules-Clément Chaplain

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief on a circular bronze medal depicting a domestic scene involving three figures. On the left side, a woman stands at a table with a large bowl in front of her. Another figure is seated at the table, focused on a young child held aloft. The child wears a onesie and a bonnet. The background features engravings of cabinetry and household items, emphasizing a home setting. The sculpture is a uniform bronze color with smooth, detailed texturing. The artist's name, J.C. Chaplain, is visible on the sculpture below the scenes.
