I rather like this one: it looks like a picture of some 1890s stage actor. Can we have some info on it?

Albert Toft, made in 1901 see here:

This one is not such a good picture and may be a slightly different version. In my picture she does not appear to have anything on her lap! I will research more for you in due course Conrad.

She is seriously life like.

I was right, see here for other views.

Note.
I got the last link from googling and though it has some relivant picture of sculpture, I don't necessarily recommend the rest of the site!

Thanks.

This is a few months out of date, I guess, but if you stick to the Art Gallery pages on p-synd and avoid the fiction you shouldn't find anything too offensive.
