## Commentary

The monument to Agnes Cromwell, who died aged eighteen, is located in the third side chapel off the south aisle of Chichester Cathedral. In this beautifully elegant sculpture, completed in 1798 and combining high and low relief, Flaxman describes the ascent of a figure borne upwards by two angels, whilst a third angel floats above.
