Description

The Statue of Dying Gaul, approximately 5 meters southwest of the balustrade of Praeneste, is a Grade II* listed statue created around 1743 by the sculptor Scheemakers. It depicts a Dying Gaul leaning on his right arm, with a shield and dagger carved on a vermiculated base. This base is set on an ashlar pedestal that features a moulded cornice. The statue is part of the landscape gardens designed by William Kent between 1733 and 1740. Rousham Park, where the statue is located, is registered as Grade I in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission Register of Parks and Gardens.
