A large, light-colored stone statue of Christ the King (Cristo Rei) stands prominently, viewed from the rear, against a clear, vivid blue sky. The statue, located in Garajau, Caniço, Portugal, depicts a robed figure with outstretched arms and textured, flowing hair. It rests on a multi-tiered pedestal of matching material, composed of a wide, square base topped by a narrower cylindrical section. Two tall, slender poles, each equipped with a dark, rectangular light fixture, are positioned to the left and right of the pedestal's base. A low, white barrier or railing is partially visible in the immediate foreground. Directly in front of the pedestal, a dark, rectangular information plaque or sign is present. The distant horizon, subtly suggesting a body of water, is visible towards the lower left and right of the frame. The scene is static, devoid of human presence, and illuminated by bright daylight.
