| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed allegorical scene in high relief depicting multiple figures in classical dress gathered in a landscape, with a standing cloaked figure to the right facing a group of seated and reclining figures on the left. A Venetian cityscape with towers and waterways appears in the upper right background. A lengthy verse from de Musset's poetry runs around the full circumference of the medal as a border legend, signed 'MOCQUOT' at the lower right. |
