The image is a black and white photograph of a statue of a man on a horse. The statue is located on a pedestal in front of a building with arched windows. The man is sitting on the horse's back and is holding a sword in his right hand. The horse is standing on its hind legs with its front legs stretched out and its head turned to the side. The pedestal is made of stone and has the words "Friedrich Barbarossa" inscribed on it. The sky is cloudy and there are trees in the background. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
