This bronze medal by Pier Paolo Galeotti, made after 1552, portrays Cassandra Marinoni, Marchioness of Soragna, in profile. The intricate detail of her elaborate hairstyle and richly patterned dress, along with the inscription "CASSANDRA MAR...MARCHESO," showcases the artist's skill in capturing the subject's nobility and refinement. This work is an example of the Italian Renaissance tradition of portrait medals, which often commemorated individuals of importance.
