Monument to John Hudleston

Richard James Lane after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features two human figures: one standing, the other seated. The standing figure is male and dressed in a classical robe, with his head bent forward and resting on his hand. The seated figure is female, leaning against the male figure, with her head turned towards him. The sculpture is surrounded by architectural elements and inscriptions, indicating it may be a memorial. The color of the sculpture is a pale, neutral tone, possibly marble. It is placed on a plinth with an architectural backdrop including an urn shape, and inscribed with the words "Thy will be done."
