This engraving by Claude Mellan, created between 1625 and 1637, depicts three women holding a medallion with the portrait of Antonio Barberini II, Cardinal of the Catholic Church. The composition is rich with classical elements, including pillars and cherubs, highlighting the historical significance of the subject. The inscription at the bottom suggests it is a commemorative work related to Barberini's religious service. This detailed engraving, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Mellan's mastery of the Baroque style.
