I don't really remember seeing that critcism voiced. Certainly not over and over the way it has been with WW (and with which I agree).
My complaint with the RS face has always been the expression...or lack of an appropriate one. If anything, it almost looks to me like she's on the verge of crying. But mostly it just looks blank and vapid...like most of SSs female portraits. I'm not a fan of the WW portrait at all, but I do give it credit for displaying some personality with the stern brows and the smirk.
This one looked really impressive to me initially. But the more I keep looking at it, the more I see things just not squaring up...especially not with the frost giant head. Leaning more in the direction of canceling this now.
Totally disagree on RS. It is open to interpretation, but I see it as one who is resigned to a life of brutality and doing what it takes to survive. She is well past the point of an expression when it comes to killing.
On WW I agree. She looks like a man and her chest is the most unnatural female chest I've ever seen on a statue.
