Leonora Cambio, Wife of the Medalist

Giovanni Battista Cambio, called Bombarda

National Gallery of Art

The profile relief sculpture depicts a woman with curly hair and a detailed outfit. It is placed on a circular base, possibly resembling a medallion or coin. The material appears to be a metallic medium like bronze, giving it a reddish-brown and aged look with patina. An inscription surrounds the figure, and engravings are seen on the medallion's edge. A small hole at the top suggests it is for mounting or display. The sculpture offers a classical and historical representation of an individual.
