Légende

Monument to Dr. John Yonge, by Torrigiani, in the Rolls Chapel, [Chancery Lane, London], 1860. 'Among the monuments almost hidden from view in the quaint old Chapel of the Rolls - an edifice now undergoing restoration...is one by no less an artist than Torrigiani...This monument is to the memory of Dr. John Yonge, who was appointed Master of the Rolls during the reign of Henry VII., and retained the office until his death [in 1516]...It represents the effigy in a recumbent attitude, habited in a long red robe and deep square cap, the face of the figure being wonderfully fine. In a recess above is a head of Christ, between two cherubim, in bold relief'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
