Portrait of Pope Clement XII Corsini (obverse)

Ottone Hamerani

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a medallion featuring a raised relief profile portrait. The portrait shows an older man with wavy hair wearing a clerical collar and a mitre, facing right. The man has a large nose. The medallion's surface exhibits a brown patina. The top half of the medallion's circumference contains an inscription in raised letters: "CLEM. XII PONT. M. AN." on the right and "• 1740 •" on the left. The bottom half appears to have an illegible inscription. The medallion has a raised edge. The background is a gray gradient.
