Style of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a medallion with a side profile relief of a woman wearing a veil or headscarf that covers her hair and neck. The sculpture is made of a dark, metal-like material, possibly bronze, with a patina that gives it an aged appearance with brown and greenish tones. An inscription in worn lettering encircles the figure. The woman is shown in a dignified and composed manner, with her profile facing to the left. Her expression is neutral and her attire, including a possible chain or necklace, is well-defined in the relief.
