Paolo Repiglier's 1698 bronze medal depicts Anna Isabella Gonzaga, Duchess of Mantua, in a profile portrait. The medal, only 6.2 cm in diameter, displays the Duchess's elaborate hairstyle and jewelry. The inscription "ANNA ISAB. D.G.D. MANT. MONTCAR. VLG.N. STE. " surrounds the portrait, identifying her as Duchess of Mantua, Countess of Montcaratto and Lady of the Order of the Star. This small, intricate work exemplifies the detailed portraiture of the Baroque period.
