Claude-Antoine-Gabriel, duc de Choiseul-Stainville (1762-1838) 1828 Medalist: Pierre Jean David d'Angers Claude-Antoine-Gabriel, duc de Choiseul-Stainville was a colonel and a Peer of France. Choiseul was loyal to the Bourbon monarchy and was arrested three times while fighting for their reinstatement.

The medallion is a transitional piece that suggests Davids mature Romantic style in the large-scale medallion format in which the bust extends to the medals upper and lower edges in high relief that would become identified with
