Enrico Ambanelli

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bearded man in profile facing left, wearing a garment with a distinct collar and a close-fitting cap. The figure has an elongated neck and a long beard. The material appears to be bronze or a bronze-like substance, with a rich, earthy brown color and slightly weathered areas. The circular shape suggests a medallion or relief plaque with inscriptions around the edge, possibly indicating the depicted person's identity or commemoration. The style features refined details typical of Renaissance or classical portraiture in medallion form.
