The gallery is called La Galleria Uffizi and the bust you're referring to is
done in carrara marble.  If it's the bust in the front corridor, it dates to
the first century.  There are other busts in the Niobe room, but none fit
this description (that I am aware of).

Dieterich- who's favorite gallery is the Uffizi (home of Botticellis, Birth
of Venus)
