Monument to Emily Georgiana, Lady Winchilsea

Lady Winchilsea (1809-1848) died prematurely, and is portrayed in an elegant Neo-classical style, the poetic inscription evoking the pathos of her early death. This monument is one of Macdonald’s most highly regarded sculptures, and exemplifies the classicising style in sculpture, which continued well into the mid 19th century.

This monument is from the ruined church of St. Mary, Eastwell, Kent, the south porch.
