The image is a photograph of a statue of a man standing on a pedestal. The statue is made of white marble and is located in a park-like setting with trees and a building in the background. The man is standing with his arms raised above his head and his body is slightly turned to the side. He is holding a book in his right hand and appears to be looking up towards the sky. His left arm is stretched upwards and his right arm is raised in the air, as if he is reaching for something. He has a muscular physique and is wearing a cape or cloak draped over his shoulders. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
