National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief carving depicting a man in profile view facing the right. He wears a fur-trimmed garment and a cap. The artwork is on a circular medium resembling a medallion or coin, with the portrait in the center. There is an inscription along the rim, slightly worn, in a serif font. The material seems to be a dull metallic color like silver, giving it an antiquated appearance. The relief shows detailed features of the man's face, beard, and attire, reflecting skilled craftsmanship.
