The image displays the interior of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon, France, specifically depicting a section of its apse or choir. The architectural style is Neo-Gothic, characterized by light-colored stone walls, columns, and pointed arches.

The scene is vertically structured in tiers. At the highest visible level, a clerestory features five large, arched stained glass windows, prominently illuminated. These windows contain polychromatic depictions of figures, primarily in red, blue, and yellow, likely representing saints or biblical narratives. Below these, a large, three-dimensional crucifix is centrally mounted on the wall, presenting a light-colored corpus of Jesus Christ on a darker, possibly wooden, cross.

An intermediate architectural tier is visible below the crucifix, consisting of a series of smaller, unglazed arched openings set into the stone. The lowest visible tier features three tall, narrow, pointed-arch stained glass lancet windows. These lower windows are predominantly blue, showcasing intricate patterns of geometric shapes and figural medallions.

On the far right of the frame, a dark, ornately carved wooden structure, consistent with a portion of choir stalls or an organ casing, is partially visible. The ceiling exhibits ribbed vaulting. No individuals are present in the depicted scene.
