This vertically oriented image captures a white marble statue depicting a scene from the Stations of the Cross, set outdoors, likely in a church courtyard or garden in Guangzhou, China. The central subjects are two male figures carved from white stone. The foreground figure, representing Jesus, is kneeling under the weight of a large cross, which rests on his left shoulder. His head is bowed, crowned with thorns, and his face shows strain. His bare feet are visible, and his simple draped garment flows around him. The second figure, standing behind and slightly to the right of Jesus, is believed to be Simon of Cyrene. He appears to be assisting Jesus with the cross, his right hand extended towards it, though not directly touching in this view. He wears a cap and a toga-like garment, with a discernible beard and a compassionate or concerned expression. The statue rests on a gray granite pedestal. On the front face of the pedestal, gold Chinese characters are inscribed. The main inscription on the right side reads, "第四處 耶穌背負十字架 遇到西滿," which translates to "Fourth Station: Jesus Carries the Cross, Meets Simon." On the left side, another inscription reads, "二零一二年 聖誕節立," indicating it was "Erected on Christmas Day, 2012." The immediate background features green foliage from various potted plants, some in simple terracotta or plastic pots, and some larger bushes. Beyond the plants, a light-colored building with vertical paneling is visible, suggesting an architectural context for the religious artwork. The ground is paved with dark gray or black stone. The lighting suggests daytime, with diffused light illuminating the details of the statue.
