Alexandre Dumas fils (1824–1895)

Medalist: Jean-Désiré Ringel d'Illzach

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 552

This portrait medallion of Alexander Dumas fils (1824–1895) has much finer detailing, particularly in hair and ornament, than a related version that entered the Museum’s collection in 1909 (09.190). The Met has four other portrait medallions by French medalist Jean-Désiré Ringel d’Illzach.
