Three Medals with Portraits

Sebald Beham

National Gallery of Art

Three portraits are displayed horizontally. Each is a bust-length profile of different individuals within circular frames. The left portrait shows a man facing right with closely cropped hair and a sturdy neck. His features include a prominent nose and distinct lips and chin. He wears a garment with a collar, and the frame includes the text "Ulrich Gebhardt." In the middle portrait, another person faces right wearing a tight headdress and high-collared top. The right portrait depicts a man facing right with a pointed beard and styled hair, wearing a fur-collared garment. None wear jewelry. The background features textured surfaces within the circular frames and surrounding area.
