Statues in the Architecture of Henry the Seventh's Chapel, Westminster Abbey

Maria Denman after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features religious figures within ornate Gothic canopies. The figures, possibly saints or clergymen, wear robes and some have halos or head coverings. They are posed differently, with some holding objects like books or staffs. Below them are sculptures of angels on a ledge, with one holding a fleur-de-lis symbol. The angels have wings and robes. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or a similar material, showing gray shading. The figures in the sculpture are elevated, giving the impression of looking up at a religious structure, typical in cathedral settings.
