The statue was created by Baron Carlo Marochetti and is located in Old Palace Yard outside the Palace of Westminster, opposite Westminster Abbey in London. Marochetti had a reputation for creating equestrian statues, having created a statue of the Duke of Wellington for display in Glasgow in 1840.

It is essentially a work of art rather than a celebration of Richard's greatness.

The artist had shown a clay model of the statue at the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park and money was later raised by private donations to produce a bronze statue.
