The image displays the interior of the Musée des Arts et Métiers, located in Paris, France. The scene features a historic monoplane aircraft, identifiable as an early 20th-century design similar to a Bleriot XI, suspended by thin cables from a high, elaborately coffered ceiling. The aircraft, constructed with a visible wooden frame and beige fabric wings, occupies the central midground. It is equipped with a forward-mounted propeller and bicycle-style landing gear. A rectangular structure with a grid pattern is mounted above the fuselage section. The architectural environment is characterized by ornate, light-colored stone or plasterwork. The ceiling features multiple decorative panels, moldings, and a prominent central medallion. The walls exhibit classical detailing, including pilasters, cornices, and framed sections, some containing inscribed plaques and carved reliefs. On the left, two tall, arched windows with multi-pane glass allow natural light to enter; an external building with a tiled roof is partially visible through them. Below the windows, wall-mounted sconces with multiple light sources are present. In the lower portion of the image, the curving stone balustrade of a staircase or landing, adorned with openwork patterns, is visible. Against the far wall, two classical-style statues on pedestals are positioned, with one figure in historical attire clearly visible. A dark wooden double door is set into the wall on the lower right. No individuals are present within the frame.
