Cristoforo di Geremia

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a profile relief of a man's head, wearing a garment with a visible layered collar, depicted on a circular medallion or coin. The man has short, neatly combed hair, a prominent nose, and a slightly open mouth, facing to the right side of the medallion. The sculpture is made of bronze, giving it a brownish metallic color with an aged and tarnished surface texture. Surrounding the profile are inscribed Latin letters forming a circular border around the edge of the medallion, with the letters appearing slightly raised from the surface. The medallion's design and the inscription indicate a formal or commemorative purpose. The profile depiction resembles traditional coinage artwork, and the sculpture is similar in size to a large coin or medallion, fitting comfortably within the palm of a hand.
