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.

Google failed me or I failed Google because I don’t know who made the sculpture.

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.
