He was wounded at the Battle of Zurich. After the peace of Amiens, he settled down at Paris and devoted himself entirely to chasing and engraving and worked for several goldsmiths, continuing in the meantime to study sculpture and the glyptic art under Boizot, Taunay and Jeuffroy and other masters. Denon took him under his protection. Rewarded by the French government and Knighted in 1825. Gayrard was above all a medallist but he has done very fine work as a sculptor and statuary ; he is known also as a poet and moralist. (ref. Forrer).
