A monumental bronze statue of a crowned female figure, identified as the Statue of St. Sofia, stands prominently against an overcast, light grey sky in central Sofia, Bulgaria. The figure is rendered primarily in dark bronze, with distinctive gilded accents on her face, neck, arms, and crown. She is depicted wearing a long, draped garment. Her left hand holds a dark wreath, while her right arm is extended, supporting a dark, winged bird, resembling an owl or raven, perched on her forearm. The statue rests on a dark, multi-tiered pedestal, the upper portion of which is visible beneath her feet, also featuring gilded elements. The lighting is uniform, indicating a cloudy daylight condition. No other subjects or environmental features are present in the frame.
