  • Comment: How high up is the bust displayed in situ? I would usually expect to view such objects from a more-or-less eye- or face-level angle. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:39, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • With stand, the bust was about 3–4 cm taller than me (if I'm remembering correctly).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:45, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – is the face slightly out of focus? Bammesk (talk) 14:45, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – face looks slightly out of focus, but not too bad at full size (100%). It has EV in Charles Summers as the only example of his work. Bammesk (talk) 03:05, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Scant EV. Subject and artist both shy on notability. Sca (talk) 13:39, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
