The word conveys the characteristics of a statue, particularly the qualities associated with classical sculptures that exhibit idealized beauty and form. It entered the English language in the late 19th century, becoming a popular descriptor for individuals who exhibit a striking and commendable physical presence. Statuesque is often used in artistic and literary contexts to highlight the beauty and dignified appearance of a person, emphasizing the timeless and enduring qualities that statues represent.
