If I were a sculptor I would think that getting the chin and mouth right, particularly in profile, would be harder than anything else. And then again - perhaps that's the easiest part of all. The top woman, in particular, is just - well - perfect!

I love that top one, woz!

The top one is the more beautiful sculpture, however, the wifes face has more symmetry.

The lover made the more beautiful sculpting, but I think the wife was probably much prettier than the lover in real life.
