This bronze medal, created by Gian Cristoforo Romano in 1498, depicts Isabella d'Este, Marchioness of Mantua, in profile. The inscription around the edge identifies her with her title, "ISABELLA ESTEN MARCHIONA." The medal, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of Renaissance portraiture in the medium of medallic art.
