The image is a photograph of a text written in French on a beige-colored surface. The text reads "La Science sans Conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme..." which translates to "Science sans conscience" in English. The font is written in a cursive style and the text is in black ink. The background of the image is blurred, but it appears to be a wall or a door. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the text.
