This Neoclassical-style memorial to Major General Sir Barry Close, erected in St. Mary's Cathedral, Madras, is attributed to John Flaxman, a prominent English sculptor known for his elegant and refined style. The monument features a central inscription detailing Close's military service and a scene below depicting a seated figure, likely a representation of Close, with two figures attending to him. This artwork serves as a lasting tribute to Close's accomplishments and is a noteworthy example of Flaxman's artistic contributions to the realm of commemorative sculpture.
