Sculptures, joinery, metalwork, and painting were completed during the 1765 to 1768 campaigns, including Guibert's Medusa bas-relief.
During the campaigns of 1765 to 1768, the sculptures, joinery, metalwork, and painting of the Petit Trianon were completed. Honoré Guibert, who executed all the sculptures in the building, finished in 1765 a first-floor landing bas-relief of a Medusa head placed between the two windows, seeming to forbid access to intruders. As the fireplace had not been ordered in 1766, the sculptor Jacques-François Dropsy supplied one from his workshops.
