What is this article about?
A magnificent statue of peace, to be placed in Napoleon's hall of audience, now occupies the time and talents of an eminent Parisian artist. The goddess is represented in a sitting posture, on a base of bronze, richly ornamented with wrought gold, and a variety of embossed figures, emblematical of commerce and agriculture. The height of the figure is almost seven feet, and said to be composed of solid silver. A galloon of gold, fastened with silver studs, adorns the back part of her robe. The laces of her buskins, and the prickly crown of Malta, which invests her temples are of solid gold. In one hand the goddess holds a caduceus of silver, inlaid with gold, and in the other a cornucopia of the same costly material. This elegant figure was designed by Chaudet and is to be executed by Cheret.
