The image displays an upward view of the Palais Universitaire, located in Strasbourg, France, under a uniformly grey, overcast sky. The primary subject is a large, multi-story building constructed of light brown dressed stone, exhibiting Neo-Renaissance or classical revival architectural elements. The left section of the building features a prominent square tower with arched windows, balustrades, and a decorative roofline. Below this tower, several floors are visible, characterized by rectangular windows with pronounced stone frames; one window on a middle floor to the right of the tower exhibits a faint internal yellow illumination. A dark metal balcony is present on the lowest visible floor towards the left edge. A small, metallic rectangular vent or pipe protrudes from a roof section situated directly below the main tower. Dark green foliage from a tree partially obscures the building's left side. The right section of the building, structurally connected to the left, features a large, ornate cornice along its roofline. Beneath this cornice, a classical relief sculpture depicting multiple figures is visible. Below the sculpture, a distinct circular decorative medallion or plaque is affixed to the stone wall. The facade throughout is characterized by precise stonework, cornices, and detailed window surrounds. No individuals or discernible activities are present within the frame.
