FRANCE. Edmond de Goncourt, Writer & Critic, 1891.
44x65mm bronze, cast as issued. Uniface portrait plaquette. Emanuel van Dorp, the Belgian collector and online medals author, notes: "Charpentier made rapid sketches directly in clay. His portraits capture a moment-in-life of the subject, and are devoid of any superfluous detail." The Metropolitan Museum was given its copy by V.D. Brenner in 1903. Our consignor paid $750. AS MADE.
