The image displays the Fontaine du Soleil (Fountain of the Sun) located in Place Masséna, Nice, France. In the center, a nude white marble statue of Apollo, wearing a crown composed of multiple vertical spikes, stands on a rectangular pedestal within a large circular fountain basin. The fountain is active, with water jets spraying upwards and outwards. Submerged within the basin are several bronze sculptures depicting horses and other mythical creatures. In the background, a multi-story building with a distinctive red/ochre facade and numerous evenly spaced windows featuring light blue-grey shutters forms a curved architectural backdrop. Rooftops with antennas are visible above this structure. To the far left, a section of another building, also with red tones, is partially visible. The foreground consists of a distinctive black and white checkered pavement pattern. The sky is clear blue, with a bright sun positioned in the upper right quadrant, casting strong light and subtle shadows across the scene. Several indistinct human figures are visible in the distant background, near the base of the red building and to the far left, suggesting pedestrian activity.
