John, I think you are right on the target with the guy's sculpture.
With the woman's, - I am not sure.. I think it's somebody else. Even though the sculpture of du Barry also reveals the left breast in a similar way, it appears to be different: http://goo.gl/jkGsp And madame de Pompadour, - she seems to be different: http://goo.gl/CfLoY Best, Igor Sun Apr 21 21:44:00 EDT 2013 John Coyle wrote: I think it is the bust of Chretien Guillaume de Lamoignon de Malesherbes, 1785 (marble), who was a French statesman, minister and counsel for the defence of Louis XVI at this trial during the French Revolution; guillotined on the 23rd April, 1794. Haven't been able to ID the woman yet, although the exposed breast suggest a courtesan, such as du Barry or de Pompadour.
