Victor Peter French
The medalist has taken a proof of his 1887 composition, pointed it for enlargement and translation into stone, and added pencil directives for altering it slightly (a deeper turned-up collar, a longer beard) and for squaring it (vertical marks on the sides). It thus served as the working model for the marble relief (1982.19).
