The image displays the forecourt of the State Library Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, observed during either dawn or dusk. The sky overhead is a clear, light blue, transitioning to darker tones. In the immediate foreground, a dark, wet paved surface, consistent with a street or tram thoroughfare, is visible. Adjacent to this, a yellow temporary fence, composed of vertical posts and horizontal mesh-like barriers, spans across the lower mid-ground. Behind this fence, a long, wooden-slatted public bench is positioned on a wet, dark grey paved pathway. The mid-ground features a spacious green lawn, flanked and partially obscured by several large deciduous trees with dense, dark green foliage. Embedded within this area are multiple streetlights, some actively emitting a bright yellow glow. Dark-colored classical statues are visible on the lawn and near the steps of the main building. The background is dominated by the imposing neoclassical facade of the State Library Victoria. The building exhibits multiple arched windows with internal lights active, and its grand entrance features prominent columns and steps. Banners or large posters are affixed to sections of the building's exterior, displaying text that includes "CREATIVE I". Several individuals are present throughout the scene. One person in dark attire walks from left to right on the pathway behind the yellow fence. Another individual in lighter clothing is visible on the far left. Other figures are indistinctly visible on the library steps and pathways closer to the building. The ground surfaces in the mid-ground appear wet, suggesting recent precipitation or heavy dew.
