Portrait of a man (Alvise Contarini?)
The example illustrates the use of single Greek words on art objects. Paired with that of a woman, the painting conveys a message of enduring affection. Its reverse shows a depiction of a roebuck tied to a golden disc inscribed with the Greek word ΑΙΕΙ (“Forever”).
