I suspect that this is an early cast - it has obviously been stripped of paint and it appears that the head has been off and glued back in place.

I am slightly suspicious of the inscription on this fine bust and suspect that it was carved after the death of Hewetson.

This is perhaps one of the 14 busts which had been paid for but were left unfinished in his studio at the time of his death and later completed by his long time and able assistant Cristoforo Prosperi.
