The image shows a dark-colored, possibly bronze, statue of a male figure in a crouching or deeply seated position, with its head slightly raised and facing forward. The figure appears to be in a pensive or contemplative state, with stylized facial features. The statue rests on a weathered, grey concrete or stone plinth that shows signs of moss and dirt accumulation. To the right of the statue, affixed to the plinth, is a white rectangular plaque with black text. The visible text indicates the artist as "Genni/Jenny Wiegmann-Mucchi (1895-1969)" and the title of the work as "„Lumumba“ (Überführung nach Thysville), 1961". It further states that the "Guss in Bronze von Marc Krepp" (bronze cast by Marc Krepp) was made after the original in the art collection of the Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts) and was "aufgestellt am 8. Oktober 2013 durch die Kunststiftung Poll" (installed on October 8, 2013, by the Kunststiftung Poll). The installation was part of the project "Drei Berliner Bildhauerinnen auf dem Garnisonkirchplatz" (Three Berlin Sculptresses on the Garrison Church Square) with support from various foundations including the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung and the Deutsch-Afrikanischen Gesellschaft e.V. In the background, lush green foliage, likely bushes or trees, is visible, suggesting an outdoor setting such as a park or public square. A metal fence runs horizontally behind the statue. The general impression is of a quiet, reflective memorial or art installation. The image appears to be taken during the daytime, with natural lighting. The location of the statue is Berlin, Germany.
