Statue of Queen Anne, Marble statue at St Paul's Cathedral, London, England.

The statue depicts Queen Anne wearing ceremonial robes, the Order of the Garter collar, holding a gilded orb and scepter while facing Ludgate Hill.

Richard Claude Belt began crafting this marble replica in 1885 to replace Francis Bird's deteriorated 1712 original, with Louis-Auguste Malempré completing the work.

Four symbolic figures at the pedestal represent England, France, Ireland, and North America, reflecting British influence during Queen Anne's reign.

The Grade II listed monument stands in the forecourt of St Paul's Cathedral western entrance, marking the completion of the cathedral's reconstruction.

The original weathered statue from 1712 remains at Holmhurst St Mary near Hastings after its discovery in an abandoned stonemason's yard.
