 "pick": "A",
 "why": "A is the only one that already reads as her: a raised arm with a torch stub at the top, a body narrowing into it, and a robe of curved pieces that each lap the one below, like copper folds. Every piece lapping the one below is something I love, and here it also does the work of drapery.",
 "notes": {
  "A": "Raised arm, torch and robe folds all read. The middle torso is a thin, loose stack and the seams look ragged. It needs a head and a crown, but the gesture is there.",
  "B": "Clean contour lines, but it's a bottle or a lighthouse. No arm and no gesture, just a column on a plinth.",
  "C": "The facets are nice up close, but it slumped into a squat heap of sheets. It doesn't go up, so it isn't a statue.",
  "D": "The soft swelling robe is lovely at the hem. Above that it's a lumpy bottle or a cactus, with no arm.",
  "E": "This is the Empire State Building with a hook on top. The texture is good as patina, but the silhouette is a skyscraper, not a woman."
