Dear teacher,
Dr. Schwartz said the base line image of Washington would be as he appeared at age 53, when the most accurate material on his appearance captured him. It was at this time that Jean-Antoine Houdon, a French neo-Classical sculptor famous for the accurate renditions of his subjects, went to Mount Vernon for several weeks to study, sketch and measure Washington for a life-size statue and bust. Washington's family members remarked that the resulting bust was the best likeness of him they had ever seen.
Q : What is omitted between "be" and "as"? I think "him" is omitted as a complement of "the base line..." and an antecedent of the "relative pronoun-As-clause". What do you think?
