Peace with Holland [obverse]

Sebastian Dadler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round medallion with an intricate relief image. The medallion features two seated figures in flowing robes, one holding an object and the other playing a stringed instrument. Below them is a smaller human figure looking up at them. Modest foliage details are on either side of the figures. The medallion is made of a metallic material, possibly bronze, with a dark, burnished appearance and highlights. A circular border frames the figures, engraved with Latin inscriptions. The medallion is meant to be closely examined for its artwork and inscriptions.
