Alexandre Charpentier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bas-relief of a man in profile, facing to the right, depicting his upper body and head. The subject has a beard and mustache and is wearing a suit, as indicated by the collar and lapel detail. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze. The relief is mounted on a square plaque with an inscription on the left side that reads, "A CHARLES MONOD, CHIRURGIEN DE L'HOPITAL ST. ANTOINE 1886-1906 SES ELEVES SES AMIS." The sculpture is finely detailed, presenting the subject in a dignified manner, with realistic facial features and clothing. The edges of the plaque are straight and sharply defined, framing the relief.
