The image displays a detailed view of "The Triumph of 1810" bas-relief sculpture, by Jean-Pierre Cortot, situated on the eastern façade of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. The scene is illuminated at night by strong artificial light from below, casting distinct upward shadows behind the figures. The sculpture features a central, draped, and crowned female figure at the apex, representing Victory or Fame. She extends her right arm over a partially nude male figure below her, who is receiving a laurel wreath on his head. This central male figure is surrounded by other allegorical figures in various states of dress and activity. To the left, a draped figure reaches upwards, while below, a seated draped woman cradles a child, and another figure kneels nearby. To the right, a prominent muscular male figure stands, and further right and lower, a kneeling male figure is depicted gathering sheaves of wheat. The entire composition is surrounded by stylized foliage and drapery. The sculpture is carved into a light-colored, block-constructed stone wall, characteristic of the Arc de Triomphe's limestone. Above the relief, a decorative frieze with a continuous Greek key pattern is visible. The background is dark, signifying nighttime. On the far right edge of the frame, a brightly lit multi-story building and the upper section of a red and white construction crane are discernible in the distance. No living individuals are present in the immediate foreground of the sculpture. in Paris, France
