metal He mas for a fortnight been studying
and making sketches OF the face and has the
advantage Of two very good photographs Of
the general in his chair on the piazza OF
the cottage in the position, and in the
dress which he has chosen Yesterday he
put the finishing touches on his clay model,
and this morning he took cast of the face
an hour after death, work Which St
Gaudeno was most anxious to get The
cast was good one and shows the upper
part of the face admirably. The lower part
appears more sunken, and the lower lip has
fallen away. The clay model is half
size and represents the general as he
was when he came to Mount McGregor.
He is seen resting in his chair dressed in his
thick, heavy dressing gown Of beaver cloth,
holding his pencil in bis right hand and his
writing pad on his knee. The legs are crossed
but not too plainly, the shrunken limbs. 1t
