- 1863, Sheridan Le Fanu, The House by the Churchyard:
  He was by no means a bad hero to look at, if such a thing were needed. His face was pale, melancholy, statuesque—and his large enthusiastic eyes, suggested a story and a secret—perhaps a horror.
- 1901, H. G. Wells, The New Accelerator:
  We went out by his gate into the road, and there we made a minute examination of the statuesque passing traffic. The tops of the wheels and some of the legs of the horses of this char-a-banc, the end of the whip-lash and the lower jaw of the conductor — who was just beginning to yawn — were perceptibly in motion, but all the rest of the lumbering conveyance seemed still.
(of a woman) Elegantly tall, graceful, and attractive. [from 19th c.]
