This engraving by Carlo Orsolini, created sometime between 1720 and 1780, features two portraits in medallions. The upper medallion depicts Girolamo Vielmi, a bishop, and the lower medallion shows Dominican Sixtus Medices. Each figure is shown in profile, emphasizing their noble features and attire. The use of detailed linework and shading in the engraving adds depth and realism to the portraits. This artwork, likely intended for a scholarly or devotional context, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the 18th century, and serves as a testament to the skill of Carlo Orsolini.
