The image displays a close-up, nighttime view of the central facade of the Trevi Fountain, located in Rome, Italy. The scene is dominated by white marble sculptures dramatically illuminated by artificial light, creating strong shadows. At the center, the colossal statue of Oceanus stands on a shell-chariot, draped with fabric, his left arm raised and right hand holding a staff-like object (partially obscured). His beard and hair are detailed. The chariot is pulled by two hippocampi (sea-horses) and two tritons. The left hippocampus appears wild, with a triton attempting to control it, while the right hippocampus is calm, guided by another triton. Water cascades from beneath the chariot and around these figures into a lower basin, visible with rippling water and reflections of light. To the left of Oceanus, within a deep niche, stands a female allegorical figure identified as Abundance. She holds a cornucopia in her left arm and appears to be offering fruit with her right hand. To the right of Oceanus, also in a niche, is another female allegorical figure, Health, holding a wreath. Both figures are cloaked in flowing drapery. Above the niches, bas-reliefs depict scenes. The relief above Abundance shows two figures interacting. Above Health, the relief is less distinct due to shadow but indicates a similar narrative scene. The architectural elements include large Corinthian columns flanking the central niche and smaller columns framing the side niches. Above Oceanus, an arched pediment features an inscription, part of which reads "CLEMENT XIII PONT MAX." A decorated dome-like structure is visible within this central arch. The entire structure is crafted from light-colored stone, appearing off-white under the specific lighting. No living persons are visible; the scene exclusively features the elaborate marble statuary and architectural design of the fountain.
