Statue of Queen Anne, Royal sculpture at St Paul's Cathedral, London, England.

The statue depicts Queen Anne in royal attire holding a gilded orb and sceptre, standing on a Portland stone pedestal with four allegorical figures.

Francis Bird created the original marble statue in 1712, which was replaced by Louis-Auguste Malempré's replica in 1886 due to extensive deterioration.

The four figures at the base represent England, France, Ireland, and North America, illustrating the British territories during Queen Anne's reign.

Located in the forecourt outside the west front of St Paul's Cathedral, visitors can access the statue during regular cathedral opening hours.

A Lascar sailor damaged the original statue in 1769 by removing its globe, breaking the arms, and destroying the sceptre.
