The sculptor who created this bust was probably a member of the Joseph Charles Marin (1749-1834) circle, and was certainly inspired by the 1792 bust of Anne Josèphe Terwagne dite Théroigne de Méricourt, a feminist activist in revolutionary France. Today, Marin's bust is part of the Boverie collection at the Musée des Beaux-arts in Liège.
