The image depicts the Triumphal Arch in Anapa, Russia, viewed from a slight angle during dusk or early night. The arch is constructed of light-colored, possibly limestone, blocks and features a single arched passage. The attic section bears a prominent inscription in Cyrillic, dedicating the arch "IN HONOR OF THE FEATS OF RUSSIAN TROOPS IN THE WAR WITH TURKEY IN 1787-1791, 1806-1812, 1828-1829 FROM GRATEFUL DESCENDANTS." On the arch's front face, above the archway, there are four distinct relief carvings. The upper left carving depicts a sailing ship, while the upper right shows a stylized architectural structure or fortress. Below these, on each side, are oval medallions containing busts of uniformed individuals, possibly military figures, encircled by laurel wreaths. Below the busts, on the lower sections of the arch pillars, are two vertical panels each, which appear to contain additional text or commemorative engravings. The foreground consists of grey interlocking paver bricks arranged in a herringbone pattern. A raised curb outlines the base of the arch. Through the archway and to its left, a park-like environment is visible with bare deciduous trees and dark evergreen conifers. Several multi-bulb streetlights illuminate the area beyond the arch. To the far left, a distant building is partially visible, while to the right, a tall, multi-story building with illuminated windows rises behind the trees. Two individuals are present on the left side of the arch, walking away from the viewer. One person wears a dark jacket and light pants with red accents on the shoes, while the other wears a yellow jacket and dark pants. Their facial features are not discernible. The sky is a deep blue, indicative of low light conditions, and artificial illumination is prominent throughout the scene.
