A Grade I-listed statue of Queen Anne stands on a pedestal alongside the north wall of No. 15 Queen Anne's Gate in Westminster, London.[1][2] It portrays the queen wearing a brocaded skirt and bodice and an open cloak[3] with the insignia of the Order of the Garter; on her head is a small crown and in her hands she holds an orb and sceptre.[4] The statue, carved from Portland stone, stands on a plinth of the same material with the inscription ANNA REGINA.[1] The pedestal consists of a fat "engaged" cylinder with a flat volute on either side, each with scrolls adorned with carved flowers and leaves. Neither the sculptor's identity nor the exact date of the work are known, but it is probably of the early eighteenth century.[5]
