The image is a black and white photograph of a statue of a man standing on a pedestal. The statue is made of stone and is located in a courtyard with a building in the background. The man is wearing a long robe and is holding a book in his hands. He appears to be reading from the book. The pedestal is supported by two tall columns with intricate carvings on the top. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the statue. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
