The image depicts the interior of the main hall of the Gare de Metz-Ville (Metz railway station) in Metz, France. The scene is dominated by a high, arched vaulted ceiling with a distinctive pattern. The ceiling is primarily a light yellow-green color with a repeating scalloped or fan-like motif. Sections of the arch feature more intricate, darker green or brown interwoven geometric patterns. Visible wear, including peeling paint and discoloration, is present across the ceiling. Below the ceiling, a large, multi-paned window structure occupies the far wall. It comprises five tall, rectangular windows topped by smaller, arched windows with hexagonal pane designs, admitting significant natural light. Centered beneath these windows is a large circular clock with Roman numerals and black hands. Below the clock, an elevated platform features four dark, full-body statues of male figures, representing historical Resistance figures. From left to right, they include a figure in a trench coat, a civilian figure, a figure in a suit, and another figure. Beneath the statues, a prominent blue electronic display board, likely a departure/arrival schedule, shows white text. To the right of the clock and statues, a vertical white banner hangs, displaying French text: "COURAGE HONNEUR DEVOIR ENGAGEMENT" and "JEAN MOULIN 1899 - 1943," identifying the monument's subject. The walls of the hall are constructed from large, light brown stone blocks, with arched doorways and architectural details visible on the side. Bright light fixtures illuminate the area below the windows. The polished floor reflects elements of the hall. Numerous individuals are present on the ground level, primarily appearing as travelers. People are seen walking, standing, and congregating near the electronic display boards and what appears to be a retail or service area. In the foreground right, two women are partially visible. The overall environment suggests an active, historically significant transportation hub.
