Ejeren er kendt. Om det er udstillet i dag, siger museet ikke, og at gætte har vi ikke lært.
This is a terracotta bust of a lady made by Giovanni Bastianini in Florence in about 1860. This bust was thought to be a copy of a polychrome wooden bust now in the Louvre ascribed to Desiderio da Settignano. However, the bust in the Louvre is itself probably a forgery by Bastianini and the present bust may well have been the model for it.
