Sculpture Saturday this week presents a bust of Pope Pius VI. This work is on display at the Vatican Museums in Vatican City.
I’m unable to identify the sculptor. The WordPress community is very knowledgeable; so feel free to reply in the comments if you know who made this sculpture.
Thanks, and have a good weekend.
Update: Clodoweg identified the sculptor as André Jean Lebrun. Much appreciated!
Sculpture Saturday is a challenge hosted by Susan Kelly at No Fixed Plans.

Plus VI looks very regal. I’m glad the mystery of who sculpted this got solved.

That’s a nice one, but I don’t think I have it in me to find out who did it right now! Put it up when you figure out.

On second thoughts if you’ve been to the place you should have enquired a little with the locals

The locals would be just as clueless as you.

Well I was talking about you, moreover in the places I have visited I can say the locals have been with a lot of clue!
So where are you currently?

As you can see from the comments, a reader identified the sculptor. 1,500 heads are better than one.
