According to his own account, Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, modeled the face of the statue like his mother’s and the body like his wife’s.


(A) modeled the face of the statue like his mother’s and the body like his wife’s

(B) modeled the face of the statue after that of his mother and the body after that of his wife

(C) modeled the face of the statue like his mother and the body like his wife

(D) made the face of the statue after his mother and the body after his wife(B)

(E) made the face of the statue look like his mother and the body look like his wife

modeled after is the correct idiom.

compare face to mother's face (not mother) and body to wife's body (not wife)

Both are in B, hence B

Agree with Chidcguy, which makes one more for B.
