Christoph Weiditz the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a medallion with a profile relief of a man in ornate academic attire. The subject is depicted wearing a large, flat academic cap, and a robe with a visible collar. The material appears to be a dark metal, likely bronze or a similar alloy. The figure is shown in a side profile facing to the right, with intricate detailing in the facial features and attire providing a sense of depth despite the medallion's flat surface. The edges of the medallion bear inscriptions, which are engraved into the metal.
