The Judgment of Paris [reverse]

Mantuan 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicted on the medallion shows a group of four figures, three female and one male. The male figure is on the left, raising his hand to one of the female figures. The females are shown nude, positioned side by side, facing towards the man. One woman appears to be more engaged with him. A small dog is also present at the feet of the women. The sculpture is crafted from a bronze-like material, giving it an aged appearance. The medallion is circular, with intricate detailing of the figures and an inscription around its border. The figures are in shallow relief format, slightly protruding from the background of the medallion.
