The image displays a monumental white marble funerary sculpture identified as the Tomb of Pope Gregory XIII, located within St. Peter's Basilica, Città del Vaticano, Vatican City. The central subject is a seated figure of Pope Gregory XIII, depicted in papal tiara and vestments, with his right arm raised in a gesture. An inscription reading "GREGORIO XIII PONT.MAX" is partially visible on the base. To the Pope's left, a draped female allegorical figure holds a tablet inscribed "NOVI OPERA EIUS ET FIDEM" and a book, looking upwards. To the Pope's right, a male allegorical figure, wearing a plumed helmet, pulls back drapery with a distressed expression. Below the central figures, a sarcophagus base features a carved relief depicting multiple human figures in a scene. A mythical creature, possibly a dragon, is positioned at the base center. Above the monument, a carved papal coat of arms, featuring a tiara and keys, is integrated into the architectural setting. The monument is situated within a deep arched niche, with surrounding walls clad in polished, veined marble of reddish-brown and green hues. The ceiling above is ornate, gilded, and intricately coffered. In the lower foreground, a partial view of a person's head is visible on the left, and a hand holding a smartphone, capturing an image, is visible on the right.
