The image displays the illuminated Royal Portal of Cathédrale Saint-André, located in the city of Bordeaux, France, at night. The central focus is a grand Gothic stone archway, heavily adorned with intricate carvings, under a deep blue sky. The portal features multiple concentric archivolts, each densely populated with numerous small, carved figures depicting detailed religious narratives. The tympanum, situated above the dark, open doorway, exhibits a complex relief sculpture, appearing to portray a Last Judgment scene with a central figure in a position of authority. Flanking the main entrance on the jambs are several larger-scale stone figures standing within niches; one prominent figure, likely a saint, is visible to the left of the entrance, holding an object, while at least three additional figures are visible to the right. The light-colored stone structure is brightly illuminated by artificial, warm-toned lighting, creating strong contrasts and highlighting the sculptural details. Architectural elements of the cathedral's facade, including a buttress and at least two visible gargoyles, are present on the upper right side against the night sky. In the lower foreground, the heads and shoulders of approximately five to seven individuals are visible, suggesting a small group observing the illuminated monument.
