National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a relief portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. The man has shoulder-length wavy hair and is depicted wearing a garment with a slightly raised collar and textured details. This piece is a round medal or medallion, predominantly bronze in color. The material appears to be metal, likely bronze or a similar alloy, providing a smooth and shiny surface. Around the edge of the medal, embossed lettering is visible, spelling out "MARTINVS DE HANNA" in a circular fashion.
