The image depicts the ornate, light-colored stone facade of the former Magasin Aux Dames de France building, located at 18-20 Rue Serpenoise in Metz, France. The perspective is low-angle, looking upwards towards the building's upper levels and a clear blue sky. The multi-story structure exhibits a classical architectural style. Prominently featured on the upper levels are two large, fluted Ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment adorned with central medallion and scrollwork carvings. Below this, multiple windows with decorative balustrades and ornate surrounds are visible. Mid-level on the facade, a lengthy balcony is present, partially obscured by numerous black rectangular planters and smaller round pots containing green vegetation, some appearing overgrown. The stone ledge of this balcony shows signs of moss or grime accumulation. Two small, light-blue pots are also visible on the balcony. At a lower visible level, a large, rounded archway is detailed with sculpted relief, featuring two cherubs (putti) seated amidst foliage and what appears to be grapes or berries. The stone around this arch displays strong rustication. A dark sign with partially visible white lettering (appearing to start with "S") hangs vertically on the far right edge of the frame. No individuals are visible, and no actions or interactions are occurring within the frame.
