Statuary.
Boehm, Sir Edgar. Bust, marble, commissioned by Queen
Victoria and now at Windsor Castle. Mr. Lionel Cust tells me
that the likeness is really that of Gordon's sister, Mrs. Moffat,
who sat for it, Boehm being aided by photographs. A plaster
cast, evidently taken from Boehm's original clay model for
this bust, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1885,
is now in the National Portrait Gallery, being reproduced
in process (2^ in. x If in.) in Cust's book on the gallery (p. 246).
The marble bust is very inferior, being evidently the product of
some marble worker in Boehm's studio. The neck ribbon and
jewel are omitted.
