The image depicts an outdoor scene within the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima, Portugal, specifically the Esplanade of the Sanctuary. The upper two-thirds of the frame are dominated by an overcast sky with dense, dark grey clouds interspersed with patches of lighter grey and a small area of blue sky in the upper left. A band of brighter, illuminated clouds is visible along the horizon, suggesting dawn or dusk. In the lower left quadrant, a tall, white stone column rises, topped with a golden statue, likely representing the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The figure faces right, with its right arm extended and hand pointing outwards. To the right, in the mid-ground, a large, dark-colored, modern crucifix is silhouetted against the brighter horizon. The ground level features a vast, open paved area, the Esplanade, populated by numerous small, indistinct figures of people scattered across the space, appearing to walk or stand. A line of dark green trees forms a boundary behind the Esplanade, partially obscuring distant white buildings and several tall, slender white columns. In the immediate lower right foreground, the backs of two individuals are partially visible, facing away from the camera and towards the scene.
