Constancy with Turkish Captives [reverse]

Andrea Guacialoti

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicted on the medallion features a figure. The figure is a classical representation of a female subject, possibly a deity or mythological character, standing upright. The subject holds a long staff or rod in one hand and the other hand appears to be holding a piece of draped cloth. The sculpture is rendered in a brown bronze material, emphasizing the intricate details and texture of the figure and the surrounding elements. Surrounding the central figure are ships and small figures or designs. The surface features inscriptions encircling the border, with the words "SIXTIE POTES" and "CONSTANTIA" being visible. The image captures a historical artistic style associated with a medallion or coin format, as a form of antique or historical artifact.
