A bronze statue of Émile Basly stands centrally on a multi-tiered, weathered stone pedestal, located in the city of Lens, France. The inscription "EMILE BASLY 1854-1928" is visible on the upper tier of the pedestal. Basly is depicted as a full-length, standing male figure with a mustache, dressed in a suit, with his arms crossed over his chest, facing forward. To the right of the statue, a tall, rectangular stone pillar forms part of the monument structure. The lower section of the monument's base features recessed panels containing dark, possibly bronze, bas-reliefs with abstract or architectural designs. The stone elements of the monument exhibit green discoloration, indicative of algae or moss growth. The sky is uniformly overcast and grey. In the background, sections of buildings are visible, including a structure with a dark tiled roof and dormer window on the left, a reddish-brown brick wall, and a lighter-colored building to the right. Bare tree branches are visible against the sky in the upper left. Sparse, dry vegetation is present in the foreground on the lower right. No individuals or active subjects are present in the scene.
