Venetian 15th or 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a group of figures in a dynamic scene. The figures are mostly depicted nude or partially draped in cloth. The scene appears lively and communal, with individuals engaged in various activities or interactions. The material of the sculpture appears to be metal, likely bronze, with an aged patina. The sculpture is a rectangular panel with a slightly curved form. The figures in the relief stand out with a three-dimensional quality, illustrating intricate details of muscle, facial expressions, and accessories.
