Regnier Arondeaux

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bas-relief sculpture on a medal featuring a profile bust of a man looking to his right. He has curly hair, is dressed in period attire, and appears to be of noble standing. The medal is made of a dark brown material, possibly bronze, with highlights where the light catches the sculpture details. There is a circular inscription around the bust and a coat of arms below it, with maritime elements in the background. The overall appearance suggests a historical commemorative medal with a classical style portrait and emblem.
