The image displays a detailed, upward-angled view of a weathered limestone relief sculpture, identified as "La Marseillaise" (The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792) by François Rude, located on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. The central figure is a large, winged female, depicted from the torso upwards. She wears a helmet, scale armor on her chest, and flowing drapery, with her mouth agape in a shout or cry. Her head is angled to the viewer's left, and her right arm is raised high, extending out of the frame. Below her, to the right, a bare-chested male warrior with a beard and helmet gazes upwards towards the winged figure. He clutches a sword hilt in his left hand, with his right arm folded across his chest, and is draped in fabric around his lower body. To the lower left, another bearded male warrior, wearing chainmail and segmented armor, grasps a weapon or shield in his left hand and a sword hilt in his right. His expression is intense. Multiple other figures are partially visible, intertwined within the dynamic composition, suggesting a group of warriors in action. The stone exhibits discoloration and weathering. The sculpture is mounted on a larger architectural structure with decorative moldings visible above and to the sides.
