New Orleans Statue/Bust

So, when we were in New Orleans last last summer (that's two summers ago in my speak) we went to the Houmas House Plantation (a stunning place!) and I randomly snapped a picture of a beautiful bust in the interior that as I recall was the image "the first ? of ?" The first governor of Louisiana? The first mayor of New Orleans? I've searched on google using every thought trail I could think of and no luck. Sooo, if any of you know "What, Who, Why" please, please tell me!
Pencil on some annoying paper so I called it quits - We'll just chalk it up to nose/jaw/curl practice (He rather looked like Roger Daltrey, didn't he? At least that is my impression. Quite Handsome.)
Cheers all!
