Virginity Tying Love to a Tree [reverse]

Style of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bas-relief medallion featuring two human figures facing each other. The male figure is partially nude with muscular definition, while the female figure is draped in flowing garments. They are positioned closely together, showing interaction. The circular piece has inscriptions along the edge, potentially text or numbers, partially obscured. The color is primarily brown with subtle greenish patina, suggesting bronze or a similar metal material. The surface is textured and the detailing on the figures is intricately carved.
