19th Century Bronze Medallion With Male Profile, Signed D. Laurin

Circular bronze medallion with a warm brown patina, depicting the profile of a bearded man facing right. The modelling is precise and refined, particularly in the treatment of the facial volumes, hair and beard, reflecting the naturalistic aesthetic of the late 19th century.

The surface displays a beautiful aged patina, subtly varied, with gentle highlights on the raised areas enhancing the sculptural quality.

Signed in the material near the shoulder: D. Laurin (probable reading).

Diameter: 29 cm

Gallery’s view:
This medallion belongs to the long tradition of profile portraiture inherited from Antiquity and widely revisited by 19th century sculptors. Both decorative and timeless, it stands out for the quality of its modelling and the quiet presence of the figure. A piece that integrates naturally into both classical and more contemporary interiors.
