This medal depicting Louis XIII (1601-1643) is made by Jean Warin, dated 1635.
Warin (1606-1672) was a French sculptor, medallist and painter and the most eminent of French medallists and a sculptor of high reputation during the first half of the 17th century, and a very important player in the history of the French medal. He was born in Liège, where he trained in the workshop of his father. His medals show a clarity of composition based on studies of the Antique, as well as a great finesse in their execution.
