National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a round bronze medallion featuring a sculpture of a male figure in profile. The subject appears to be "George Prince of Wales, Regent," as inscribed around the perimeter of the medallion. The figure is adorned with a classical laurel wreath crown on his wavy hair and a draped garment over his shoulder. The color of the sculpture is a rich, deep bronze, and it appears to be made of metal with a smooth finish and detailed engravings. The medallion has a polished and refined look, reflecting light softly across its surface, highlighting the details of the subject's features and attire. The text is in raised letters encircling the edge of the medallion.
