Additionally, here's another pic of it from the book, "Il marmo spirante : sculpture and experience in seventeenth-century Rome", there's also a couple more pics floating around, here (from an article in french)

I might scrounge around a bit more to see if there's any more info about this piece.

From the notes on this page (after being filtered through Google Translate),

"Klaus Herding, the Puget Specialist, provides provenance information in a letter to Myron Laskin Junior, dated May 24, 1974. He indicates that the bust comes from the collection of Marchese Domenico Serra, who used to call the bust, King David."

Although it would be a very anachronistic depiction of King David, given the attire (not that such anachronisms would be uncommon), I do feel like the plain crown style seems to be common (when depicted with a crown) for King David.

King David by Andre Jean Lebrun:

Unsure who the sculptor was here:

Here, it's referred to as King David also, but they, such as in the previous reply, reference Klaus Herding's book "Pierre Puget", which I was unable to find a digital copy of in my searches.

Also, a terracotta version by Puget is referred to here as King David (from italian).

Although, there is a kind of similarity between the terracotta version of David, and his bust of Marcus Aurelius (here), though all this evidences is his studies on roman sculpture.

I believe that's the best I can do without actually cracking open any books on Puget by Herding or others. So I'm out, best of luck anon.
