Description
The Statue of William Huskisson in Pimlico Gardens is a memorial statue created in 1836 by John Gibson for Mrs. Eliza Huskisson. This statue is the second version of one that Gibson made in 1833.
The statue is made of Carrara marble and depicts Huskisson as a standing figure looking downward in reflection. He is dressed in a Roman toga, with his right shoulder and part of his chest exposed, and he is wearing sandals on his feet. His left hand is raised across his chest, while he holds a scroll in his right hand. To his left, there is a broken column with the worn inscription: ‘OPUS IOANNIS GIBSON’.
The plinth is also made of marble, featuring an inscription on the front (west) face that reads: ‘WILLIAM HUSKISSON / STATESMAN / BORN 1770 DIED 1830’. This is supported by a base of four steps.
