The image displays a bronze statue of Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921) in an outdoor park in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. The male figure is depicted with a serious expression, wearing a double-breasted suit and collared shirt, with both hands slightly open and extended. Blue and yellow ribbons, representing the Ukrainian flag, are tied around his wrists. The statue stands on a large, rough-hewn light grey granite pedestal. A rectangular plaque is embedded in the front of the pedestal. The text, in both Ukrainian and English, identifies the subject as "Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921), National Artist of Ukraine, author of the world-famous 'Shchedryk'." It also notes the monument was "Opened on October 15, 2018," with K. Kazymyra as sculptor and T. Zdyrka as architect. To the left of the statue, on the same base, is a miniature model of a street with several small, dark-roofed buildings. The background is filled with numerous bare-branched deciduous trees, indicative of late autumn or winter. Some evergreen trees are visible on the far right. The sky is clear and bright blue, suggesting a sunny day. Clusters of mistletoe can be seen in the bare branches of several trees. The ribbons on the statue's wrists serve as a notable detail, signifying a tribute or an expression of Ukrainian national identity.
