Lovely pinkish-brown look but judging by your developer and paper I suspect this may be the scanner and that the print's look is more neutral than it appears on my screen
I hope I am wrong as if I am, I might be tempted to try this combo of film, film developer, paper and paper developer

Same comments as Mike here. Interesting to see no tripod used. The amount of detail on the sarcophagus is excellent with presumably only daylight.

Hi Mike I had a lot of trouble scanning this print and it has come out warmer than it actually is, normally when I scan I open the item in photoshop and use auto levels which normally bring the scan nearest to how the photo looks and leave it at that this one just didn't work and whatever I tried just made it worse in the end I gave up and just uploaded it so it is more neutral but saying that the Bromophion does give a warmth to the MG Satin. Only daylight into the chapel and no tripod Derek, the wonder of Silvermax I love it.

Not liking the tube light over his head but love the light on the marble, was the sculptor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertram_Mackennal ?
Personally I would crop the top bit and get rid of the clutter above the head or burn it in and crop a little off the left hand side giving a strong diagonal composition from his feet to the head.

A pity, Richard, as this is a lovely tint on my screen

I did think of cropping it almost like you suggest Norm but it would have left me with bits of benches so I decided to not mind the clutter, the chapel is very small so composition was difficult I was fortunate for it not to be crowded with visitors at the time.
The original was created by his mother in plaster and is in Belvior Castle the marble copy it says was by an Italian Sculptor but can't find the name.

It is always a problem when you cannot move things out of the way or get in the right position, it is even more frustrating when people walk or stand in front of you when they can see you are taking a photograph.
