This is a portrait medallion of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham by the English sculptor John Flaxman. The piece is rendered in a classical style that was popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The image of Pitt, a British statesman known for his role in the Seven Years' War, is presented in profile, echoing ancient Roman coins. This piece would have likely been produced as a commemorative object for collectors or admirers of Pitt's legacy.
