Veiled Lady
Pietro Bazzanti  ca. 1860
Bankfield Museum, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England

Last seen in 2012's "How to Do Art

But those folks, Bazzanti and Strazza and the rest, may have to step aside for this guy, Francesco Queirolo at the Museo Cappella Sansevero:

A single block of marble. Seven years of work.

Hat Tip: Messy Nessy Chic who also tracked down a pretty nice room for rent in Paris (not the Le Corbusier, scroll down):
