Art Quiz

I have acquired (for safe keeping) the plaster-cast portrait bust shown in the above image. Anyone care to guess (a) who it is and (b) which artist made it? Hint: there is a physics theme….

  I just noticed your “physics theme” hint, so I retract my last guess!

  You may find in your place of work a bronze bust that was actually made from this plaster cast….

It is simple: Sir Patrick Blackett by Jacob Epstein.
