What he did and did not do you know; but I must let you understand that wherever he has worked he has maimed it.

Chiefly, he has shortened the right foot, and it is plainly seen that he has cut off the toes.

He has shortened the fingers of the hands, too, more especially those of the one which holds the cross, the right; Frizzi says, it seems to have been worked by a cake-maker, not carved in marble.

It looks as if it had been made by one who worked in dough, it is so stunted.

I do not understand these things, not knowing the manner of working in marble; but I can very well tell you that those fingers look to me very stumpy.
