Eliezer and Rebecca at the Well

Giovanni Bernardi

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicted on the medallion features a scene with multiple human figures intricately carved in relief. The figures are arranged in a group, some standing and others engaging in conversation or interaction, while others are raised on a platform. The sculpture is crafted from a material with an earthy brown coloration, likely bronze. The surface shows a patina, adding texture and depth to the image. The relief carving captures a moment from a historical or mythical scene. The medallion is circular with a hole at the top. The figures are proportionate to the size of the medallion and detailed given the relief constraints. Overall, the sculpture provides a glimpse into a narrative scene preserved in a small, wearable form.
