The statue of Colin Campbell, 1st Baron Clyde, stands in the City of Westminster as a public artwork. Carlo Marochetti modelled the bronze figure, which rises from a granite plinth. Campbell appears as Field Marshal Lord Clyde, with a woman and lion enriching the base below him. An inscription records his name, titles, birth year 1792, and death year 1863. Its Grade II listing recognises the structure’s historical and architectural significance.

Marochetti, who lived from 1805 to 1867, created this monument within a Victorian tradition of honouring military leaders through detailed public sculpture. Campbell served as a Field Marshal during campaigns in the Crimean War and India. Yinka Shonibare later modified the monument for the Decolonised Structures exhibition at the Serpentine Galleries. That intervention connects the historic bronze with changing discussions about history and public space. The woman and lion on the plinth remain beneath the figure beside the identifying inscription.
