    This portrait of Pope Innocent XI (; Pope ) is similar to that shown on the bronze medal by Giovanni Hamerani (), although on the medal the Pope is shown with full papal vestments and with longer hair; in addition his abbreviated name is given as 'INNOCEN' with two 'n's (examples are in the present collection, including inv. no. , and at the British Museum and elsewhere). An ivory version was sold at Rosebery's, London (Ted Few sale) on 24 March, , lot
    The virtuoso skill seen here, whereby a figurative portrait is created using only the technique of turning, was greatly admired in the seventeenth century.
