Judgment of Paris

Master IO.F.F.

National Gallery of Art

The circular relief carved onto a roundel features four classical figures. A seated male figure interacts with three standing female figures. The male figure is on the left, slightly inclined forward, engaging with the central females. One female holds a ribbon or a strip of cloth, and the other female stands apart, gesturing upward. Above the group, a small winged figure is visible. The sculpture is a rich, dark bronze hue with stylized figures consistent with classical representations. The figures are detailed, showing texture in hair and garments. The background is textured, and there is a rounded border framing the scene.
