The image is a black and white photograph of a set of stairs leading up to a building with columns. The stairs are made of stone and appear to be old and weathered. On the right side of the image, there is a statue of a man and a woman standing on a pedestal. The man is holding a book and the woman is sitting on the steps. The building behind the stairs is tall and has multiple windows. The sky is overcast and there are other buildings visible in the background. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the stairs.
