Portrait of a Woman [reverse] 

This bronze medal, created by Regnault Danet in the early 16th century, depicts a portrait of a woman in profile. The medal is inscribed with the words "MARIER SANS," which translates to "Marry Without" - possibly implying the woman's status as a widow or spinster. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the woman's delicate features and the intricate folds of her head covering. Despite its small size, this medal exemplifies the Renaissance era's fascination with portraiture and the use of realistic imagery.
