Truth Unveiling Herself [reverse]

Pastorino de' Pastorini, called Pastorino da Siena

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief carving on a circular medallion featuring a female figure seated and holding a fabric or cloak above her body. The figure sits with bent legs and the fabric creates swirling lines around her. The sculpture is in a warm, earthy color palette, suggesting it is made of bronze. The female figure is depicted in three-dimensional relief against a textured background. An inscription, including the word "VERITAS," runs along the perimeter and bottom of the medallion. The relief is detailed and the material gives a sense of depth and dimension against the circular form.
