An antique-style painted sundial is prominently displayed on a light-colored, weathered masonry wall in Bordeaux, France. The rectangular sundial panel features an ornate scroll border in brown, gold, and red. At its center, a stylized sun with a human face radiates golden rays, from which a thin, dark gnomon extends to mark the time. Hour lines, numbered from 7 to 12 and then 1, are depicted on a curved scroll banner below the sun. Above the sun, a golden rooster figurine is positioned between the numbers "19" on the left and "90" on the right, suggesting the year 1990. Two decorative urns filled with stylized foliage flank the sun. Below the main dial, a white rectangular plaque with a brown border bears the French inscription: "QUAND LE SOLEIL SE LEVE IL SE LEVE POUR TOUS" (When the sun rises, it rises for everyone). The surrounding wall exhibits textured, coarse stone blocks at the top and upper left, transitioning to smoother, off-white plaster with minor cracks and discoloration below and to the right of the sundial.
