- Oil on illustration board. Portrait of Colonel Lenard. Ribbons of French Military and Civil Awards include: Médaille de l'armée des Vosges 1871, Orde national de la région d'honneur, Croix de Guerre, Médaille commémorative de Saint-Héléne (1857), and a unknown ribbon of red with two green bands (possibly a repeat of Médaille de l'armée des Vosges 1871).
