The image displays a large, ancient marble statue of Artemis of Ephesus, centrally positioned in a dimly lit exhibition space. The statue, primarily white with some discoloration, features a stylized human form with a serene facial expression and an elaborate headdress. Multiple prominent, spherical protuberances adorn the torso, arranged in horizontal rows. The lower body is columnar, intricately carved with vertical rows of relief figures, including mythological creatures and human faces. The figure's arms are outstretched forward, with hands open. The statue stands on a rectangular, tiered marble pedestal. To the left and right of the main statue on the pedestal are two smaller, fragmented marble sculptures of quadruped animals, possibly deer, supported by vertical rods. The background is uniformly black, indicating focused, dramatic lighting on the artifacts within a museum environment. This scene is located within the Ephesus Museum (Efes Müzesi) in Selçuk, Turkey.
