Note du spécialiste

Henry Kirke Brown is best known for his equestrian statue of George Washington of 1856 in Union Square, New York. In 1852, he completed profile portraits of three American founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. An unidentified number of unmarked examples of the Jefferson medallions were cast at the Ames Manufacturing Company, Chicopee, Massachusetts, including the present work.
