Sale of free stock shares

I was gifted shares as an incentive from my previous company which trades on the Paris exchange and took ownership of those shares in 2018.  I had to pay taxes on the then current value ($25.5k) in May 2019 of 34.6% ($8847).  When I sold the shares in Nov 2019, the value and exchange rate was unfavorable and earned $21.1k.  How do I reflect the transaction on taxes?
