This fine young woman's head in the neoclassical taste is probably a vestal. It belongs in the artistic movement of the years 1780-1810, as expressed by its hieratic character, deliberately distant from the joyous and gallant sculpture of the years 1760-1780.

Acccidents visible to the rear, lacks in the hairs.

France or Italy circa 1780-90
