The Judgment of Paris

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief scene of several figures. One seated figure is on the left, while three standing figures, two of them potentially female, are on the right. Small winged figures are above them. The sculpture is made of metal, likely bronze or a similar alloy, in a brownish-golden color. It features raised edges with an inscription around the scene. The figures are intricately detailed in high relief against a flat background. There is a hole at the top of the medallion, potentially for hanging or attachment.
