The sculptor was a skilled artisan who made the statue with precision. He made very evident on the face of the king the stern emotions of conceit 'sneer or cold command' and cruelty 'wrinkled lip'. Though the very purpose of the king to have his statue erected was to immortalize himself and remain in the memory of people for long, the expression on his face defeated his purpose as his statue shows him as a despot. The sculptor wants to emphasize that it is one's behavior because of which he is remembered. If one fails, even as a king, to have good behavior he is not admired and gains dislike of others.
