I can see the point-for-point comparison with W - - but the gestalt is way off. The Arles bust is of a man of sensuality and intelligence, corrugated by stress and responsibility. See wot I mean? Couldn't be Bush. There’s an excellent American actor named Robert Foxworth whom the bust somewhat resembles.
