His depiction of George Washington currently sits in North Carolina's Museum of History, while the model of his never-built monument to Horatio Nelson is housed in his namesake Gipsoteca. An art historian recently claimed that this artist "cheated" in marble by relying partly on a plaster cast of a model's breasts.  Presumably this alleged cast was not from Napoleon's sister, the nominal model for one of his many sculptures.
