The image depicts the neo-classical Church of La Madeleine in Paris, France, viewed from a low angle at twilight. The massive stone edifice is illuminated by warm, artificial light, casting a golden hue on its facade and creating deep shadows between its numerous fluted Corinthian columns. A wide, multi-tiered flight of grey stone steps leads up to the main entrance. A dark metal handrail is partially visible on the left side of the stairs. Behind the columns, large dark double doors mark the entrance. Above the columns, a frieze bears the Latin inscription "D.O.M. SVB. INVOC. S. M. MAGDALENAE" (Deo Optimo Maximo sub invocatione Sanctae Mariae Magdalenae). Above this, a pediment contains a large sculptural relief depicting multiple figures. The upper right portion of the frame is dominated by a clear, deep twilight blue sky. On the far right, beyond the steps and the church, bare tree branches and a distant, multi-story modern building are faintly visible. No individuals are present in the scene.
