Anne of Austria, 1601-1666, Wife of King Louis XIII of France 1615 [reverse] 1620

This bronze medal, created by Guillaume Dupré in 1620, portrays Anne of Austria, the wife of King Louis XIII of France. The medal showcases Anne in profile, adorned in elaborate jewelry and a ruff, a popular style of collar during the 17th century. The inscription around the edge identifies Anne as "Anna Austriae Galliae et Navarrae Regina" (Anne of Austria, Queen of France and Navarre). This piece serves as a testament to Dupré's skill in capturing the likeness and grandeur of a prominent figure in French history.
