Alfred Stevens

I've just found this beautiful head of Medusa on the V&A's website. It was made by the 19th-century sculptor Alfred Stevens as a model for an architectural frieze. You can read more about Stevens and his many works here. Stevens was one of many sculptors who practiced a style known as The New Sculpture. The face on this bronze by Frampton is (I think) quite typical of the style.
