Oh.  

In that case, I'm impressed by your industry, but not any longer by your 
knowledge!

Cheers,

Rick

Believe it or not a Google search!  'Louvre Louis marble bust' in the 'Images' 
option!
Then a happy half-hour browsing until I spotted the likeness in the clothes.

Okay, I think I'm impressed!  Now, how did you come to recognize it?

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.

Still at the Louvre.  I don't know whom these were intended to represent.  I 
shot it because of the
lighting, though the woman is busty as well as busted:
