The image displays the interior of the Grand Saint Anthony of Padua Church (Sent Antuan Bazilikası) in Beyoğlu, Turkey. Centrally positioned is a life-sized, polychrome statue of Jesus Christ, depicted standing within an ornate, dark-stained wooden display case with clear glass panels. The statue features Jesus with dark hair and a beard, wearing a cream-colored tunic and a red mantle with gold-colored trim draped over his left shoulder and waist. His arms are slightly outstretched, with palms open. The Sacred Heart, represented as a flaming heart encircled by thorns and topped with a cross, is visible on his chest. A brass-colored plaque with Turkish text is affixed to the lower front of the wooden base, above the inscription "MERHAMETLİ İSA" (Merciful Jesus). To the left, a tall, multi-paneled stained-glass window with geometric and floral designs in blue, yellow, red, and green hues allows ambient light. The background on the right consists of a plain, light-colored wall with vertical architectural fluting. A white cloth rests at the base of the display case, partially obscuring the grey, possibly stone, floor.
