This 1770 portrait medallion by Jean-Baptiste Nini depicts Charles-Juste, Prince de Beauvau in profile. Nini was a celebrated sculptor working in the Rococo style and this piece showcases his skill in capturing likeness through subtle modeling. The inscription around the circular relief identifies the subject and date, making it both an artistic and historical artifact. The medallion is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and exemplifies the aesthetic taste of the French aristocracy during the 18th century.
