It was performed on June 22, 1905, on the grounds of the sculptors house, Aspet, with the participants dressed as ancient mythological figures. Soon thereafter, Saint-Gaudens modeled a plaque to express his gratitude to the players and musicians. The text painstakingly records their names, while a classical temple framed by pine trees draped with stage curtains and masks recalls the setting. This large gilded version was a gift to the playwright, Louis Shipman, who wrote and directed the masque. Saint-Gaudens also distributed small silvered-bronze plaquettes that were individually inscribed to the participants, including one in The Mets collection (08.216) presented to the painter Kenyon Cox..
