National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bas-relief medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man with a distinguished beard and curly hair. The man appears to be wearing period clothing, including an elaborate lace collar and a sash across his chest. The medallion is made of bronze, giving it a warm, golden-brown color that complements the intricate detailing of the subject's attire and facial features. Surrounding the portrait is a border with raised lettering. The medallion's surface is smooth, with subtle variations in texture highlighting the depth of the sculptural work.
