A reddish-brown granite monument dedicated to Alfred Nobel stands outdoors in Bryant Park, New York City, United States. The monument's primary visible face features the engraved name "ALFRED NOBEL" with the dates "1833-1896" directly below. Centered beneath the dates is a circular bronze bas-relief depicting the bust of Alfred Nobel, facing left, with a beard and mustache. Below the bust, inscribed text identifies him as "FOUNDER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE," followed by "SWEDISH INVENTOR INDUSTRIALIST PHILANTHROPIST AND HUMANIST." The left face of the monument, partially visible, contains multiple columns of engraved names, presumably Nobel laureates, accompanied by categories like "Economics" and "Chemistry." Light-colored chalk marks or graffiti are present on both exposed granite surfaces, notably on the lower left side of the main face and extensively on the left side of the monument. Strong sunlight illuminates the right portion of the monument while casting a pronounced shadow on its left side. In the background, green deciduous trees are visible, behind which stands a multi-story red-brick building with numerous windows. To the right of the monument, a dark gray, foot-pedal operated public trash receptacle is situated on a paved ground surface, with a portion of a park bench visible behind it.
