This bronze medal, created by Niccolò Cavallerino between 1500 and 1550, depicts a profile portrait of Argentina Rangona (d. 1550). Rangona is shown wearing a elaborate headdress and a richly-patterned dress, highlighting the fashion trends of the period. The inscription around the edge of the medal identifies the subject and artist. This small, yet detailed work, showcases the artistry of the Italian Renaissance through its meticulous execution and representation of a prominent figure.
