A plaster cast of the bust of Charles Gounod, the French composer. With his head turned to his right, Gounod has a full beard and moustache. The head is now detached from the bust. He is dressed informally in an unbuttoned waistcoat, an open shirt with loosely tied neck scarf and a jacket. The bust is supported by a square socle.

Carpeaux modelled his bust of Gounod during an extended visit to London in March 1873. This plaster cast may have been made in Carpeaux's studio in London in 1873, or at a later date in his studio in Auteuil, Paris.
