Description
The Statue of William III is an equestrian statue located in the center of St. James's Square in the City of Westminster. It was created in 1807 by John Bacon junior, likely based on a design by his father from 1794. The statue is made of cast bronze and stands on a high stone pedestal with a bow-ended shape, which is set on a plinth that may be older. The depiction shows the King as a Roman general, featuring late 17th-century styled hair, and he is astride a spirited horse. The design is probably inspired by the equestrian statue of William in Queen's Square, Bristol. This statue was commissioned according to the will of Samuel Travers, who died in 1724.
