1970, France. ASSOCIATION FRANÇAISE POUR L’AVANCEMENT DES SCIENCES. By Oscar Roty. Silvered-bronze 68mm. Edge inscribed: BREST 1970. $95.

Louis Oscar Roty was born at Paris on June 11, 1846. He initially studied painting at the ?cole Nationale Sup?rieure des Beaux-Arts under Lecoq and Boisbaudran.

Roty spent three years in Rome, where he modeled a number of waxes. In 1888 he was elected to the Acad?mie des Beaux-Arts. He took the grand prize at the International Exposition in 1889.
