Winged Victory [reverse]

Giovanni Martino Hamerani

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a round bronze sculpture with a winged figure standing beside a tall palm tree. The figure is in motion, with one leg lifted and resting on a sphere. The figure is reaching up towards the tree, holding a branch or leaf towards it. The palm tree's leaves stretch upward and outward. Near the top of the tree is a round plaque with the letters "M. A. X." and "I. M. A." inscribed on it. The sculpture is crafted from bronze, exhibiting a rich brown patina with areas of darker shading to accentuate details and texture on the relief sculpture.
