The image shows a statue of a man standing on a pedestal in front of a building with the letters "UWS" on it. The statue is made of bronze and is located in a square with a concrete base. The man is wearing a long coat and a hat, and is holding a book in his right hand. He is standing with his left hand on his hip and his right arm raised in the air, as if he is reading. He has a serious expression on his face and is looking off to the side. The building behind the statue has a sign that reads "University of Wisconsin-Madison" and there are trees and bushes in the background. The sky is cloudy and the overall mood of the image is somber.
