Portrait medallion of General Bonaparte by David d'Angers - Locket

Reproduction portrait medallion of General Bonaparte by David d'Angers, probably made of plaster. The medallion is signed on the back but I can't really read what it says (see last photos) and it was made in 1952. Diameter +/- 16 cm The famous medallion by the French sculptor Pierre-Jean David d'Angers that depicts Napoleon Bonaparte is officially known under the inscription that is on it: "Le Général Bonaparte". Because the artist, for political and democratic reasons, refused to honor the later imperial version of Napoleon, he consciously chose to depict him as the young, republican general at the time of his first Italian campaign (around 1796). see photos (part of the description and condition).
