Westminster Abbey, London

This detail comes from the west angle of south transept of the Westminster Abbey.

The Westminster Abbey reflects the French influence on English architecture but it has a reduced importance for sculpture. The style of the surviving sculptures of the Abbey is not that of contemporary France. Instead, it is a compound of styles of the previous decades (Chartres, Amiens, Wells).
