Lucia Ruspagiari (?)

Alfonso Ruspagiari

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture portrays a female figure in profile, facing left. She has an intricate hairstyle with braided patterns and cloth or ribbons on her head. She wears draped fabric with folds and an ornamental clasp on her shoulder. The sculpture is made of dark bronze with hints of patina. It is circular with a small hole at the top, potentially for hanging. The detailed relief work gives the figure a refined, classical appearance within the medallion.
