Hope with Hands Raised in Prayer [reverse] after 1544

"Hope with Hands Raised in Prayer [reverse]" is a bronze medal created by Leone Leoni after 1544. The medal depicts a figure of Hope, a female figure with flowing drapery, raising her hands in prayer towards the sky. In the background, two birds soar above clouds. The inscription around the rim reads "Spes Mea In Deo Est" which translates to "My Hope Is In God." This work is characteristic of Leoni's medallic style, known for its detailed and naturalistic representations.
