Ludovico Ugoni [reverse]

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bronze medallion featuring a relief profile of a bearded man wearing a hat and ornately decorated clothing. The subject faces to the left. The attire shows intricate craftsmanship. The sculpture has a warm brown color typical of aged bronze with a slightly rough texture. The raised inscription "LVDOVICVS V GONIVS" surrounds the central figure, with decorative motifs framing it. The circular form and relief style give the impression of a classical or historical coin.
