This is a copy of a marble showing 'Florence Triumphant over Pisa'. A personification of Florence, or an allegory of Virtue, overcomes a man cowering on the ground who represents the city of Pisa, or Vice. The original was commissioned by Francesco de’ Medici in 1565 for the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. It is now in the Bargello, Florence.

Small bronze versions, generally given the name of this example, were extremely popular, especially after Massimiliano Soldani-Benzi started producing them in the early eighteenth century.
