Certainly seems to be an issue with modern artists working in bronze.
Obviously there’s ‘artistic license’ but when you struggle to identify who the bronze is of that’s surely crossed the line to just plain old not very good. I’ve lost count of the number of bronze statues or busts I’ve seen in the last decade or two where they do not look much, if at all, like the subject. |

It looks like his insipid artistic taste. Flat, cautious realism softened by a vague attempt to be intimate make this a spiritless and characterless hunk of nonsense". |

Im surprised William and Harry didn't shout out " who the fcuk is that supposed to be ". Looks more like Faceman from the A Team.....shocking artwork. And I bet it wasn't cheap either.
