Sperandio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round medallion sculpture with a man's profile in relief. The man has curly hair, wears a tall hat, and a high-collared garment. The medallion is gray, possibly made of metal like pewter. There is an inscription in relief around the edge, partly visible. A small hole at the top suggests it could be hung or displayed. The man's facial features and attire are detailed, giving the sculpture a historical or commemorative look.
