Jean-Baptiste Nini's 1769 "Empress Maria Theresa" is a circular portrait medallion, crafted in terracotta and framed in wood. The artwork depicts Maria Theresa in profile, wearing elaborate jewelry and a crown. Nini was a prominent sculptor of the 18th century, known for his portrait medallions. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to Nini's talent for capturing both the physical likeness and the regal presence of his subject.
