Looks good!

You have to be a bit careful printing this one. Even after rotating and centering the model and pulling it down to the build platform, the bottom is not completely flat. There are some big concave regions as well as a couple of little bumps that cause the first couple of layers to be smaller cir
cles. For me, the rectangular base was about the third layer to print, so did not adhere as well as it could have. I also had some issue with some of the concave regions on the bottom poking up and making holes in the top of the base, though that may be the scale I printed at.

My derivative, in the sidebar navigation, fixes these things and prints really well (except the chin overhang, which I don't think anything can be done about).

Interesting! This model prints out a mirror image copy of the photo on this page. But if you go to the link above and look at all the other photos by Metropolitan Museum of Art half of them are also mirror images.
