Statue of Joshua Reynolds, Bronze statue in Burlington House, London, England
The statue of Sir Joshua Reynolds stands in the Annenberg Courtyard of Burlington House, featuring a standing figure on a corniced stone pedestal.
Alfred Drury created this bronze monument in 1931 to commemorate Sir Joshua Reynolds, who served as the first president of the Royal Academy.
