National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a profile portrait of a man with detailed facial features and clothing on a circular medallion. The man wears a hat with a wide brim and a distinct pattern, with short, straight hair. He wears a tunic with visible chains or necklace, and the folds of his clothing are detailed. The sculpture is in a bronze color, suggesting a metallic material, likely bronze, giving it a historic appearance. There are inscriptions in Latin encircling the portrait on the medallion against a black background.
