The image depicts the courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, under a clear, light blue sky. The prominent central feature is the I. M. Pei-designed glass and metal Louvre Pyramid, acting as a museum entrance. It is flanked by the ornate, classical facades of the historic Louvre Palace buildings, characterized by beige stone, arched windows, and dark mansard roofs. The expansive ground is paved with light grey cobblestones or pavers arranged in a diagonal pattern, interrupted by wider, lighter grey rectilinear strips. Shadows are cast across the pavement, indicating bright daylight. Numerous individuals are present. In the left foreground, a group of three people stands on the pavers, facing generally away from the camera. One person wears a light-colored sweater and dark pants, another a pink top and blue jeans, and a third a dark jacket and pants. A fourth individual's dark-clad arm is partially visible in the extreme lower-left corner. In the mid-ground and background, dozens of other people are scattered across the courtyard, many forming queues near the base of the pyramid, guided by metal barriers. A shallow, dark water feature is visible to the right of the pyramid's base. White canopies or umbrellas are also discernible in the distance.
