About this 3D model

This sculpture of a seated angel is a plaster copy of a marble original of Thorvaldsen. The marble work is one of the few sculptures flanking the tomb monument to Pope Pius VII in St. Peter's, Rome. The tomb was unveiled in 1831 and is the only work by a non-Catholic in St. Peter's Basilica.
