Virtue and Fortune [reverse]

Attributed to Vettor Gambello, called Camelio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round, coin-like piece with two figures in profile. One figure is draped in a long garment, while the other is in motion, holding a staff or sword. An inscription along the edge reads: "DVCE VIRTUTE COMITE FORTVNA M.D.XIII." The piece is made from a bronze or brass-like material and appears textured, resembling a medallion or relief on a coin.
