The carving of the hair is truly wonderful.
I have touched on Cavaceppi previously and his use of the "classical eared socle and support to his busts) and its subsequent appropriation by English sculptor Joseph Nollekens (1737 - 1823) after his stay in Rome (1761 - 70) and his working in the orbit of Cavaceppi.
