WORLD COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, MEDALS BY SUBJECT, Artistic, Shaped Cast Bronze Plaquette, possibly German or Austrian, double portrait of husband and wife facing to left, she with hair tied up and back, he with short hair, up-turned moustache and wearing pince-nez, swirling and floral border, 93mm x 85mm. A well made and decorative piece, good very fine.
The plaquette is signed on the truncation of the wife's neck, perhaps "R. P. Lourd", but such is the nature of the artist's flowery style, the cataloguers have been unable to attribute it. Likewise, the sitters remain unknown.
