Very beautiful bronze table medal by Charles Jean Marie Degeorge
Charles Jean Marie Degeorge (1837 Lyon – 1888 Paris) was a French sculptor, and medallist, whose best-known work, La jeunesse d'Aristote (The Youth of Aristotle) (1875) depicts the philosopher as a semi-nude teenage boy sitting in a large chair, looking bored as he studies a scroll. The statue is currently in the Musée d'Orsay.
Degeorge also sculpted a bust of Henri Regnault which was incorporated into Regnault's monument at the École des Beaux Arts, Paris.
Le maréchal-ferrant est un artisan dont le métier consiste à ferrer les pieds des chevaux et autres équidés et à s'occuper de leur parage. Le ferrage des bovins de trait est aujourd'hui rarement pratiqué. C'est un métier vieux de plus de 2 000 ans.
En 2007, on décomptait environ 1600 maréchaux-ferrants en France.
