Fortune with a Veil [reverse]

Valentin Maler

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion depicting a female figure standing in a contrapposto pose. She is holding a long scarf or ribbon above her head, forming an arch. The sculpture has a rich, brownish bronze color and features a raised border with inscriptions along the edge. The female figure stands on a round plinth and appears to be nude. There is a small hole near the edge of the medallion. The sculpture's attributes suggest it is a small, finely detailed piece.
