This bronze medal, created by the Italian artist Pier Paolo Galeotti in 1554, depicts Chiara Tolentino Taverna, the wife of Francesco Taverna, in profile. The medal, with its intricate details and realistic portrayal, exemplifies the artistry of Renaissance-era medal making. The inscription surrounding the portrait, "CLARA · TOL · TABERNA · VX · SV[P] · CANCLI", identifies the subject and her social status. The work showcases Galeotti's mastery in capturing the likeness and personality of his subject through a three-dimensional medium.
