WORLD ART MEDALS France, Portrait a Young Woman, a large cast uniface bronze medallion by Christophe, 1852, in high relief, published by Duran, 158mm. Extremely fine, with a lovely chocolate patina, pierced at top for display (£110-130)

Although the subject is clearly not one of the world’s great beauties, the portrait is of the very highest quality, expressive and full of character.
