This bronze medal, created in 1623 by an anonymous artist, depicts Nicolas de Bailleul, Mayor of Paris from 1622 to 1628. The medal shows a detailed profile portrait of Bailleul in the style of Renaissance portraiture, complete with a large ruff, a prominent beard, and a finely detailed gown. The inscription around the edge of the medal identifies the subject as "NICOL DE BAILLVL PROPRÆT. VRB. ET PRÆF. EDILIC. ORDIN." This is a 17th century commemorative medal, a popular form of art that served to honor individuals and events.
