Portrait of a Woman

Medalist A.A.

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a relief of a woman shown in profile facing to the right. Her hair is styled in a neat bun, and she is adorned in draped garments that culminate in a knot on her shoulder. She holds a floral element in her hands. The piece is silver in color, indicating it is likely made from a similar metal. This aspect gives the sculpture a reflective quality, with highlights and shadows defining the contours and details of the engraving. The medallion's size appears to be larger than a typical coin, allowing for detailed features in the subject's clothing and facial expressions.
