An early eighteenth century Portland stone statue of the artist and architect Andrea Palladio, attributed to J. M. Rysbrack, and commissioned with a statue of Inigo Jones by Lord Burlington. The figures were at Burlington House until the completion of his villa at Chiswick c.1729.

The figure leans left against a rusticated plinth set against the wall. He has a portly physique and full face and wears a soft cap over his short hair. He is dressed in the same seventeenth century style as the figure of Jones that stands opposite.

Lord Burlington had a strong affinity to both men, whose designs he admired and collected. Eventually, he amassed a significant number of their drawings and designs. Palladio's work was published, alongside the ancient monuments that inspired him, in a compendium entitled ‘The Four Books of Architecture’ which Burlington produced at his own expense (1716–1720)
