National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a medallion featuring a relief portrait of a man in a half-turn pose with a serious expression. The man is depicted wearing a hat, a garment with a fur collar, and a chain. The circular medallion contains inscriptions in Latin around its border. It is made of a metallic material, likely bronze or brass, giving it a muted brownish-gold color. The craftsmanship highlights textures of clothing and facial features, creating a lifelike resemblance. The sculpture is compact and detailed, standing out against a plain background.
