Louise Brongniart

Imitator of Jean-Antoine Houdon

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust of a young girl with her hair styled in a bun with a simple headband. We see her from the chest up, and her torso faces us while her head looks over her shoulder to the left. The girl's expression is neutral, and she has round cheeks, a small nose, faint eyebrows, and a small chin. The material of the sculpture is a light pink-tan color, and it is mounted on a worn wooden pedestal.
