National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a profile relief of a person's head and torso, accompanied by intricate clothing suggestive of historical fashion. The figure wears a detailed garment with swirling patterns and a high collar. The head is covered by a structured headpiece with a rounded top and straight lines. Crafted from bronze, the sculpture has a brown patina with highlighted tones. Surrounding the relief is a circular border with engraved text, adding to its medallion-like appearance. The careful attention to texture and engraving gives the figure a dignified presence in this three-dimensional representation.
