Damn! I have had to open a new piggy bank, just for these busts! This one is faithfully based on the portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence of Graham when he was a Lt. general (there is also one of him as a field marshal):

Since female busts are coming more into fashion, it would be nice to see one of Mrs. Graham. She was a well known beauty and the subject of a portrait by Gainsborough. She died young and when Graham was escorting her coffin home, it was broken into by a mob of French revolutionaries searching for arms. It was this outrage that caused Graham to raise a regiment and fight the French in the Peninsula, first under Moore and then Wellington.
The busts could smile at each other across the centuries.;)
