Antonis Mor, c. 1517/1521-1576/1577, Painter

Steven van Herwijck

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bronze medallion featuring the portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. The subject is depicted with a detailed facial expression, curly hair, and a full beard, wearing a garment with a high collar indicative of the period's fashion. The material of the medallion is bronze, giving it a rich brown color with lighter highlights that accentuate the details of the facial features and clothing. The surface has a smooth yet slightly textured finish, making the carved details stand out distinctly. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription that reads “ANTONIVS·MOR·TRAPICIOR.” The medallion is round with a small hole at the edge. The overall size and detailed craftsmanship make the medallion appear like a small, intricate piece of art.
