Youth Wearing an Animal's Skin [reverse]

Style of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a profile of a person facing left. The subject appears to be wearing a broad-brimmed hat and has long flowing hair. They are holding a large pipe or staff over their shoulder with one hand, while the other hand seems to be holding onto a scroll or ribbon that has an inscription. The sculpture is made of a brown metallic material with a slightly textured surface. The detail work in the facial features and hair suggests a level of intricacy in its crafting.
