Guillaume Dupré’s 1613 bronze medal, "Maria Magdalena, Archduchess of Austria, Grand Duchess of Tuscany," depicts the subject in profile, showcasing her intricate hairstyle and elaborate jewels. The inscription around the circular frame, "MAR MAGDALENE ARCH MAGD-ETR," identifies Maria Magdalena as an archduchess and grand duchess. This commemorative medal, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York, exemplifies the artistic trends of the early 17th century in its detailed rendering and focus on portraiture.
