Specialist note

The present bust of an unidentified sitter is related to the school of artists active in Paris in the late 18th century. On stylistic grounds it is closely comparable to a terracotta bust of the Princess of Monaco by Claude Dejoux (1732-1816) dated to 1783 and housed in the Louvre, Paris.
