The image displays a section of the main portal facade of the São Paulo Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral da Sé) in São Paulo, Brazil. Four life-sized, light grey stone statues of robed male figures, identified as the four Evangelists, are prominently featured. They stand vertically above individual cylindrical columns with Corinthian capitals, which rest on octagonal bases integrated into the cathedral's grey stone plinth. From left to right: 1. The first figure, depicted with a beard, holds a book or scroll in his left arm, with his right hand near his chest. 2. The second figure, also bearded, is shown looking down at an open book held in both hands. The head of an ox, the symbol of Luke, is partially visible at the base of his pedestal. 3. The third figure, bearded, holds a closed book in his left arm, with his right hand resting on it. The head of a lion, the symbol of Mark, is partially visible at the base of his pedestal. 4. The fourth figure, with long hair, holds an open book in his left hand and a pen-like object or pointing gesture with his right. An eagle's head, the symbol of John, is partially visible at the base of his pedestal. The statues are set within recessed niches of the grey stone facade, which is adorned with ornate Gothic Revival architectural elements including pointed arches and decorative spires above the figures. To the far left, a large, dark brown wooden door with diagonal paneling and metal studs is partially visible. The stone materials exhibit signs of weathering and some discoloration.
