Looks nothing like him.

Who does it look like more?

I will start with the Aussie cricket captain Steve Smith.

It looks like a cross between the comedian Greg Davies and Iain Dowie!

Sculpture is one area of human endeavour that seems to go backwards over time. The Romans and Greeks , let alone the great Renaissance artists, would be turning in their graves at this rubbish...

Nearly every sporting sculpture I have seen that has been commissioned in the past 25 years or so bears little resemblence to the subject.

They've got his giraffe neck correct at least.

It looks like the winker after a stroke.

This is shocking - with todays technology its possible to 3D scan a persons head / torso with a free app on a smartphone. 3D print the scan / make a mold / pour in the brass - no excuses.

This one bears little resemblance to a human being.

Remember a few years back, a Spanish lady made the news for a botched attempt at restoring a fresco in her church? I think she may have turned her handed to sculpture!
