This bronze medal, created in 1642 by French artist Jean Darmand, called Lorfelin, depicts Anne of Austria, Queen of France, in profile. The medal is a typical example of the portrait medal genre, which flourished during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It was designed to commemorate Anne's role as queen and her important place in French history. The delicate detail of the medal's inscription, “ANNA·AVSTRIACA·FRANC·ET·NAVAR·REGINA”, highlights the artistic skill of Lorfelin. The inscription further underscores Anne's position as Queen of France and Navarre, highlighting her power and influence.
