Photographs of the Sotheby's Marble Bust and the Grimsthorpe Castle Terracotta Busts of Handel
All by Roubiliac for Comparison.
Malcolm Baker had problems with this bust but I can find no reason to doubt the authorship of the Sotheby's bust.
My blog entries on the subject should be enough to convince any doubters!

I have never seen some of these busts before. The terracotta from Grimsthorpe Castle is absolutely amazing, like seeing the real Handel in a snapshot of time. Is this on public display, do you know?
