Baron Johann von Khevenhüller, 1537/1538-1606 [obverse]

Antonio Abondio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring a raised profile portrait of a man. The portrait highlights distinct features such as short, curled hair and a notable beard. The man is dressed in what appears to be armor or military attire, with intricate details visible on the collar and shoulder area. The color of the sculpture is a consistent brownish-bronze, characteristic of metal. The material appears to be bronze or a similar alloy. Around the edge of the medallion, inscribed in uppercase letters, is the text "IOHANNES KEVENHULLER BARO," which encircles the figure.
