Attributed to Giovanni Boldù

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts the profile of a young individual, likely male, focusing on the head and upper bust. The subject's hair is styled with a laurel wreath. The material seems to be bronze with reddish-brown tones and green patina. It is crafted in relief on a circular form with inscriptions around the profile. The design presents a classical and historical aesthetic.
