A low-angle photograph captures a significant portion of the Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) facade in Milan, Italy, under a clear blue sky. The intricate Gothic architecture dominates the frame, showcasing light-colored marble, tall arched windows with elaborate tracery, and numerous decorative niches containing sculpted figures and statues. Vertical metal scaffolding is present against a section of the facade on the right. In the lower foreground, a temporary metal construction barrier with mesh infill, bearing a "Grünerdian" label, stands before a lower stone section of the cathedral. Stacked metal pipes or poles are visible behind the barrier. A black street lamp with three white spherical luminaires extends upwards from the mid-right. The lower right corner features a partial view of an individual's left side of the face, wearing large black-framed glasses and a white wireless earbud. A grey coat is visible over their left shoulder. The scene is brightly illuminated by natural sunlight, casting distinct shadows on the architectural details.
