@CapeSafety Never thought about there being an actual model. She's prettier than the statue. But being lichen green and very stern faced probably doesn't help.
@CapeSafety From Wikipedia:
"The Duchess of Camposelice was still a striking lady when she met the sculptor Bartholdi. It is rumoured she was his model for the Statue of Liberty, however this claim may not be correct."
From the pictorial evidence I think she was.
But maybe it was Santos. 😁
@poemblaze George wouldn't lie, we both know that!
@CapeSafety True. True.
Its true its in the "BOOK"
@CapeSafety I thought he said Mona Lisa!
