New and long enough, QPQ done, all non-lead ¶ with citations, a copyvio check reveals no problems, hook content is interesting and is verified with a citation to a reliable source in the article (Swedish language source accessed using Google Translate). The only change I would consider is changing the word "model" in the hook to "sculpture", because more readers are likely to know what a sculpture is within this context. I wasn't clear on initially reading the hook what the term "model" was specifically representing. North America100015:30, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
