This image features a detailed, full-length white marble statue of a seated, winged female figure identified as "SAPIENTIA" (Wisdom), located within the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon, France. The figure, draped in classical robes and wearing a laurel wreath, has large, spread wings. Her left hand is raised in a delicate gesture with fingers together, while her right hand holds a small, light-colored object. The statue rests on a dark reddish-brown, elaborately carved pedestal featuring scrollwork, a small cross relief, and the letter "A". Behind the figure is a rectangular wall panel of light-colored marble or mosaic, intricately decorated with gilded relief carvings of olive branches and trees. Above the figure, a Latin inscription in dark red capital letters reads: "AUDITE QUONIAM DE REBUS MAGNIS LOCUTURA SUM EGO SAPIENTIA HABITO IN CONSILIO." The entire composition is framed by mosaic borders in black, white, and gray, featuring geometric patterns and stylized foliage. Direct lighting from the upper right casts sharp shadows across the statue and the background panel.
