Filippo of Savoy, 1490-1533, Count of Genevois 1514

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring the profile of a man looking to the left. The man is depicted wearing a hat adorned with decorative elements and what appears to be a coat with fur-like details around the collar. The material of the sculpture is a dark metal, possibly bronze, and it has an aged patina with some areas showing lighter wear, highlighting fine details on the figure's face and attire. Surrounding the profile, there is an inscription in classical lettering around the edge of the medallion. The medallion's size and style suggest it was created to commemorate or depict a figure of significance.
