This is a COPY of the original bust by Bernini, which is on view at the Louvre, Paris.
This one is displayed in the library, Davidson College, NC. The library label had very little information--no name of sculptor, for instance.
Apparently, Bernini made several of these, and they were widely copied in the 19th century. Even those "newer" ones have value, as observed from a couple of recent auction result lists.
