It sums up what we look for in a christening medal: a true drawing, a relief that catches the light, an emotion that can be read at first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Virgin and Child drawn to express a mother's love\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMary is seen in profile, her head covered by a veil whose folds fall in broad waves to the edge of the medal. With lowered eyes, she tilts her face towards the Child, whom she holds nestled against her cheek: he sleeps, head thrown back, one hand resting on her. The whole drawing lies in this contact between the two faces; the background is left smooth, without inscription or decoration, so that nothing distracts from this gesture. It is this simplicity that gives the medal its legibility, even at 16 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this Virgin and Child shows, every mother recognises: the weight of a sleeping baby against you, the head that settles by itself into the hollow of your neck, that moment when you hold your breath so as not to wake him. Our sculptor did not seek a Virgin in majesty but a young mother, absorbed, protecting. This is why this christening medal is so often chosen by parents and godmothers: it does not only depict a figure of devotion, it says what one feels when holding the child about to be baptised. Given on the day of the christening, it keeps that feeling intact, and the child, once grown, will find it again on looking at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA christening medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all our gold medals, Notre Dame de la Tendresse is made by stamping: the 750\/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, which gives a sharper and more durable relief than that of a cast piece. The surface is then satin-finished to soften the reflections and bring out the volumes. The gold weight is 2.30 g at 16 mm, 2.90 g at 18 mm and 4.40 g at 20 mm.

He looks neither at his mother nor at us: his eyelids are lowered over the lamb he holds in both arms, the Agnus Dei, the animal's head resting against his chest. The scene is silent, almost a nap for three. This composition is inspired by \u003cem\u003eThe Virgin of the Lamb\u003c\/em\u003e, a painting made in 1903 by William Bouguereau, master of French academic painting, who had himself conceived it in a round format; our sculptor transposed it into relief while keeping what is most tender in the canvas, the quiet contemplation of the three figures. The lamb is not a mere companion: it is the Lamb of God, the name John the Baptist gives to Jesus on the banks of the Jordan, on the day of his baptism. The link with the christening medal is therefore direct, and discreet: one may see in it only a child and his lamb, or read into it the full meaning of the sacrament. The fleece, the child's skin and the veil are treated in three distinct textures, which gives the medal a richness of relief remarkable for 18 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA christening medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all our gold medals, the Virgin and Child with the Lamb is produced by stamping: the 750\/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, for a crisp and lasting relief, then satin-finished.

Behind them, our sculptor has engraved a tall stem of lily in bloom and, further away, a landscape of hills beneath a smooth sky: the scene takes place outdoors, in a garden, and this breathing space gives the medal a particular softness.
