Modelling Mr Lloyd George
Mrs. Milward, wo has earned distinction for her sculpture, recently had Mr. Lloyd George sitting for her while she modelled him. She says he was a most interesting subject, and on one occasion after drawing her attention to his likeness to Mr. Briand, said that when ho walked with the French Minister in their meeting during the war the backs of their heads were seen to be exactly alike. The reason, he thought, was that M. Briand was a Breton and he a Gaul, and there is a great similarity between the two nations even to their language. Mrs. Milward says she found great charm in Mr. Lloyd George’s face, though his hair was always untidy. It was almost impossible for him to keep still, but that did not disturb her, she said, for she could turn her model o,bout. She found it very easy to agree with him that he could not pose for a photograph, and that artists had a bad time with him. At the end of each sitting ho would say: “Can Igo now’?” or” Haven’t I been a good boy?
