This bronze medal, created in 1729 by the Italian artist Ottone Hamerani, depicts Prince Henry Stuart, Cardinal of York. The portrait, in profile facing left, is a fine example of the Rococo style, known for its elegant curves and elaborate ornamentation, as seen in the intricate detailing of the Prince's clothing and hair. The inscription "AB. ILLO" translates to "from him" and likely references the Prince's lineage.
