This bust of Voltaire is a reduced copy of a marble by Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne (1704-1778), exhibited at the Salon in 1748. The philosopher is depicted young, with delicate features and an intense look which conveys a great liveliness. A very similar example is conserved at the Victoria and Albert Museum, signed Caffieri and dated 1783 (A. 1-1956).
