The image displays a night view of the Institut de France (Collège des Quatre-Nations), located in Paris, France. The scene focuses on the upper and mid-sections of the classical stone building's facade. A large, oxidized green copper dome dominates the upper left, featuring a circular balustrade adorned with several classical full-length statues; at least three are distinctly visible. Below the dome, the curved limestone facade presents fluted pilasters, between which are recessed circular niches, each containing a sculpted bust of a male figure. Below these niches are decorative bas-relief panels. To the right, the facade continues with a rectilinear section, featuring large rectangular windows topped with triangular pediments, and additional circular niches with busts. Several bare deciduous tree branches are silhouetted in the foreground, partially obscuring the lower facade sections and casting shadows. A small stone sculpture, resembling a sphinx, is partially visible among sparse foliage at the bottom left. The building is illuminated by artificial lighting, creating distinct shadows against the dark night sky. No individuals are present in the frame.
