A low-angle exterior view captures a section of the classical stone facade of the Hungarian National Bank building, located at Szabadság tér 8-9, Budapest V, Hungary. The multi-story structure is constructed from light-colored, precisely cut stone blocks, featuring ornate cornices, decorative moldings, and arched windows on upper levels. Centrally positioned within a deeply recessed, dark arched niche on the lower facade is a large bronze relief sculpture with a dark greenish patina. This artwork depicts two figures in a Pietà style. A crowned female figure, clad in flowing robes and a cloak, supports the upper body of a deceased male figure. Her head is bowed, looking down at him, and her left hand rests on his chest. The male figure, muscular and partially draped around his lower body, is depicted with his head tilted back, eyes closed, and his body limp, positioned diagonally across the female figure's lap. His left knee is bent, resting on the base of the sculpture. The background of the niche behind the figures features etched radiating lines, suggesting a celestial light source. Immediately above the arched niche, a horizontal architectural band on the facade bears the Latin inscription "PRO PATRIA". Two white, spherical security cameras are mounted on the light-colored stone wall, one positioned to the left and one to the right of the sculptural niche. A partial white street sign, displaying "utca", is visible on the far left edge of the image. The upper portion of the frame shows a clear blue sky.
