Statue of Charles James Fox, Bronze statue in Bloomsbury Square, England
The bronze statue of Charles James Fox depicts him seated in Roman senator robes while holding a copy of the Magna Carta.
Created by Richard Westmacott in 1814, the statue commemorates the British Whig statesman who supported American independence and opposed the slave trade.
The monument measures 2.74 meters in height and stands on a 2.43-meter granite plinth inscribed with information about the political figure.
Located at the north end of Bloomsbury Square Gardens, the Grade II* listed monument stands near several other historical landmarks in central London.
The sculptor chose to present Fox in a seated position rather than standing due to considerations about representing his physical appearance with appropriate dignity.
