National Gallery of Art

The image features a round medal displaying high-relief portraits of two historical figures in profile. The medal showcases the heads and upper torsos of a man and a woman, with intricate hairstyles typical of the period. The man is positioned in front of the woman. Both figures have finely sculpted hair and facial features, and the medal is composed of bronze, giving it a brown color. There are inscriptions surrounding the portraits and beneath the figures. The medal has a smooth, round shape and a polished surface that reflects light.
