A white marble statue of Saint Andrew is depicted within an arched niche in the interior of a grand basilica, identified as the Basilica di Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome, Italy. The full-body statue portrays an elderly, bearded man with a stern expression, standing barefoot in heavily draped, flowing robes. He supports a large, rough-hewn X-shaped wooden cross against his left shoulder, extending behind him. His right hand rests over his chest. The statue is elevated on a pedestal, which bears the inscription "S. ANDREAS" in capital letters. The niche is framed by fluted pilasters with ornate, carved Corinthian capitals featuring acanthus leaves and volutes. The surrounding walls are clad in polished light grey marble with prominent darker horizontal veins. Above the niche, the ceiling or upper wall features decorative architectural elements, including cornices and gilded details. To the far right, a tall, rectangular stained-glass window, predominantly yellow and amber in color, provides ambient light to the scene. The overall environment is opulent and architecturally rich.
