This 19th-century Italian marble bust, titled "Son L'Orfanella" (I am the little orphan), depicts a young girl with a somber expression. She is draped in a textured headscarf or shawl that frames her face and is tied at the neck, falling over her shoulders. The sculpture is rendered in white marble with fine detailing in the hair and the folds of the fabric. The title is inscribed in script on the naturalistic rock-style base.
