The image depicts a section of the Institut de France building, located in Paris, France, at night. The classical-style stone façade is artificially illuminated against a dark, featureless sky. In the upper left, a curved, verdigris (greenish-grey) copper dome with visible ribbing is present. Along the base of this dome, at least five classical-style stone statues of draped human figures stand on a parapet. Below the dome, a highly ornamented stone cornice with repeating circular motifs extends horizontally across the upper wall. The mid-section of the building features a series of engaged Corinthian pilasters. Between these pilasters are recessed circular niches, each containing a stone bust of a male figure; five such busts are visible. Below the busts and between the pilasters, rectangular bas-relief friezes depicting allegorical or mythological scenes with figures and objects are carved into the stone. Three such friezes are distinctly visible. The lower section of the building includes rectangular windows with light-colored frames, some of which are topped by triangular pediments, particularly on the right side. In the foreground, several leafless deciduous trees and dark shrubs partially obscure the lower portion of the building. A smaller, possibly evergreen, bush is visible in the lower center. To the right of this bush, a stone sculpture of a recumbent feline, likely a lion, rests on a low stone plinth. Artificial light sources illuminate the building, casting distinct shadows from the architectural elements and the foreground vegetation onto the light-colored stone surface. No human figures are present in the scene. in Paris, France
