beautifully carved, the serene marble sculpture depicting a young girl's bust with three quarter face in a downward gaze; in a classical style with the girl's hair intricately braided and gathered into a bun on top of her head; similar to the marble bust ​​​​​of a young girl 'La Boudeuse' by the 18th Century French Sculptor Jacques Saly exhibited at the Salon in Paris in 1750 and now housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London
