The image displays a weathered bronze statue of a historical male figure, identified as Marquis de Lezay-Marnésia, set against an urban background in Strasbourg, France. The statue, significantly patinated with verdigris, depicts the Marquis in formal 19th-century attire, including a draped cloak, jacket, and trousers. His right hand is positioned at his chest, while his left hand holds a rolled document. A small animal figure, possibly a dog, is visible at the base of the statue near his left leg. The statue rests on a substantial reddish-brown stone pedestal. The front inscription reads: "LE DEPARTEMENT DU BAS-RHIN / A SON ANCIEN PREFET / MARQUIS DE LEZAY-MARNESIA / 1810 - 1814". A crowned coat of arms is carved into the left side of the pedestal. The background on the right features a multi-story, reddish-brown stone building with numerous white-framed windows and a dark mansard roof, partially obscured by bare tree branches. The left background shows more bare trees against an overcast, light gray sky. In the foreground, a black metal fence with pointed finials runs horizontally, separating the viewer's perspective from the monument. The ground around the statue and behind the fence is covered with fallen brown leaves and some sparse green shrubbery. The scene is illuminated by diffused, natural light, suggesting an overcast day. The statue is situated in front of the Palais Rohan, specifically in Place du Château.
