Diana van Poitiers, hertogin van Valentinois 1602 - 1640

This small, round bronze medal, created by French medalist Pierre Regnier between 1602 and 1640, portrays Diana van Poitiers, Duchess of Valentinois. The obverse features a bust of Diana in profile, while the reverse depicts a scene of a crowned female figure standing before a tree, with another female figure reclining beneath. The medal is a testament to the skill of Regnier, who was known for his portrait medals, and offers a glimpse into the fashion and artistic styles of the early 17th century.
