This 16th-century silver medal by German Renaissance artist Matthes Gebel depicts Hieronymus Holzschuher, a prominent patrician of Nuremberg. Holzschuher is shown in profile, his face rendered with a realistic detail that is characteristic of Gebel's work. The inscription surrounding the portrait, "HIERONYMUS HOLZSCHUHERS NVRNBERGENSIS," identifies the sitter and his city. The medal, measuring only 4.03 cm in diameter, is a testament to Gebel's mastery of miniature portraiture.
