Very Rare Art Deco Bronze Medal Plaque JESUS CHRIST by A. Dubois

  
Very Rare Art Deco Bronze Medal Plaque with a relief of JESUS CHRIST by A. Dubois and the inscription "BRONZE" are clearly visible, confirming that this is indeed a bronze bas-relief artwork, not just a simple alloy. The worked octagonal frame and the very classic expression of Christ correspond well to the religious style of the late 19th or early 20th century. Subject: Christ crowned with thorns. The theme is classic in Christian art and is often used for devotional works or liturgical objects.

The style evokes the late 19th or early 20th century, a period of strong religious symbolism in art. The treatment of the face, very expressive, recalls the academic sculpture of the 19th century. The work in bronze is precise and detailed, typical of French art foundries. The dark brown patina is consistent with an old or quality work.

It could be Albert-Ernest Dubois or a lesser-known Dubois, as several sculptors and medallists bore this name during that time. Without further references in artistic databases (such as Benezit or auction archives), it remains difficult to attribute with certainty.
