A sculpture of a foetal skeleton kneeling in prayer by Mark Quinn at Winchester Cathedral

---

Angel is a sculpture of a foetal skeleton by sculptor Marc Quinn, part of an exhibition in Winchester Cathedral called Light which juxtaposes contemporary sculptures with ancient religious monuments. Quinn used a plastic medical model of a 22-week-old foetus to create the sculpture, making it in bronze and then painting it white.
