<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3524534, member: 92655&quot;]I read the Wiki link offered by [USER=103332]@Autoturf[/USER] and it appears there is some foundation to both stories... According to the Wiki story, Longacre stated the face was based on the statue mentioned by [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER]. It is fact that Longacre enjoyed sketching his daughters portrait. However at the time the IHC was minted, his daughter was thirty years old.... What I glean from that is that he did base the portrait on the Crouching Venus statue, however likely included some of the features from his daughters bust simply because he simply liked her features.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
