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

OA:B
What's wrong with A. It is so well using ellipses to convey the idea, yet being concise.

Anybody ?

Yes, I didn't find anything wrong with A.

B seemed too wordy, but I choose B for the sheer usage of the correct idiom: 'Modeled after'.
