A portrait bust of Giulia Grisi in the title role of Bellini's 'Norma'. She wears classical drapery caught on each shoulder by a plain medallion, with an oak-leaf and acanthus headdress. Her hair is caught in a bun and twisted, with a few escaping curls carved on the nape of her neck. The eyes are not incised. The work is made of smooth white marble set on an ebonised panelled pedestal with inscription plaque.
