The Veiled Lady

This is the head of a beautifully carved marble statue in Chatsworth House, known there as The Veiled Lady.

Lacking any evidence as to its provenance I have assumed that it is a copy of "The Veiled Virgin" - a Carrara marble statue carved in Rome by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza, depicting the bust of a veiled Blessed Virgin Mary. This was transported to Newfoundland in 1856, and was then kept at the Episcopal Palace next to the Roman Catholic Cathedral in St. John's until 1862, when Bishop Mullock presented it to Mother Mary Magdalene O'Shaughnessy, the Superior of Presentation Convent. The bust has since remained under the care of Presentation Sisters, in Cathedral Square, St. John!s.

Anyone better informed out there who can put me right?
