This is a detailed, low-angle, full-shot photograph of a large, gray, relief sculpture mounted on a textured, mustard-yellow building facade. The sculpture, which appears to be made of concrete or a similar material, is predominantly silver in color. It depicts two figures, likely historical Cossacks based on their attire, in a dynamic composition. The left figure, positioned on the left side of the sculpture, wears a traditional Cossack hat and military-style tunic, with a sash around his waist. He holds a long rifle vertically in his right hand, with his left arm raised to his head, perhaps signaling or in a defensive stance. To his left, a stylized representation of a fortress or town with spires and crenellations is visible, alongside a banner bearing the Roman numeral "XVII". The right figure, larger and more prominent, stands in the center, looking upwards. He wears a similar hat and tunic, with a sash and wide trousers. He is depicted raising a flaming torch high above his head with both hands, symbolizing enlightenment or revolution. His expression is one of intensity and determination. Beneath the figures, the sculpture features abstract elements, including curves, cylindrical shapes, and circular forms. A bell is visible in the background behind the left figure. The overall composition suggests a historical narrative related to the 17th century, possibly referencing a significant event or period in Ukrainian history. The building facade is rough and textured, with some areas showing peeling paint, particularly around the bell in the sculpture. The upper edge of the image shows a blue overhang and a white soffit. The ground in the foreground consists of stone paving slabs. This sculpture is located on the facade of the Zhytomyr Regional State Administration building in Zhytomyr, Ukraine.
