Antonio Francesco Selvi

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a detailed profile of a man's head and upper torso. The man has curly hair and a full beard, with an expression that is focused as he faces to the right. He is dressed in classical or renaissance attire, possibly a robe or toga. The sculpture is crafted from a material that appears to be bronze, with dark brown color and lighter highlights. Surrounding the figure are inscribed words "LAURENTIVS" on the left and "MED.PETR" on the right within a circular boundary.
