" The Iron Duke ought to have beendelighted to find another man as unbending as himself, but he wasn't;and in the end he refused the figure, which Gibson sold instead to LadyMarian Alford.
For twenty-seven years Gibson remained at Rome, working assiduously athis art, and rising gradually but surely to the very first place amongthen living sculptors. His studio now became the great centre of allfashionable visitors to Rome. Still, he made no effort to get rich, though he got rich without wishing... it; he worked on merely for art'ssake, not for money. He would not do as many sculptors do, keepseveral copies in marble of his more popular statues for sale; hepreferred to devote all his time to new works. "Gibson was alwaysabsorbed in one subject, " says Lady Eastlake, "and that was theparticular work or part of a work--were it but the turn of a corner ofdrapery--which was then under his modelling hands. Time was nothing tohim; he was long and fastidious. " His favourite pupil, Miss Hosmer, once expressed regret to him that she had been so long about a piece ofwork on which she was engaged.
