Circle of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The image is a bronze medallion with a side profile of a person's head and shoulders. The person appears to be wearing a headdress or cloak, with draped fabric covering the head and neck. The bronze material gives it a rich brown color with varied shades. The profile has a strong nose and a somewhat solemn expression, facing left. Inscriptions or lettering surround the profile, providing context to the subject. The medallion has a round shape and relief sculpting typical of historical art.
