Mars with Three Figures [reverse]

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular relief featuring a scene with multiple figures. In the center, there is a group of three standing figures. To the right, there is a helmeted figure on horseback. On the left, there are two figures. Above them, a figure sits on a cloud or raised platform, gesturing downwards. The sculpture is rendered in a bronze-colored material, with light and shadow accentuating the figures' details, giving them a raised look against the round background. The material has a slightly worn texture.
