A newly unveiled sculpture of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and two corgis in Northern Ireland, intended to pay tribute to the late monarch, has received somewhat mixed reviews from the public.
While the local council told CNN that the bronze statue of the Queen “has been warmly received by most who have seen it in person,” some on social media have ridiculed it for not looking like her. “Could be anyone,” wrote one commenter on a Facebook post from the council announcing the work’s unveiling. Another wrote that the sculpture was “beautiful” but didn’t “look like our late queen or represent how she always dressed.
Behind her stands a likeness of her husband, Philip, his hands behind his back. The council acknowledged that “art can sometimes spark diverse opinions” but said that it “was particularly pleased with how the sculpture complements its surroundings, standing adjacent to the statue of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and accompanied by two lovingly crafted corgis.” CNN has reached out to Brennan for comment.
