A tall, white marble statue of Saint Anthony of Padua stands prominently outdoors, holding the infant Jesus in his left arm and an open book in his right. The saint is depicted wearing a long habit with a rope cincture, from which a rosary with a crucifix hangs. The infant Jesus reaches towards the saint's face. The statue rests on a multi-tiered white marble pedestal inscribed with gold Vietnamese text, including "ÔNG VÀ BÀ VŨ ĐÌNH KINH", "THÁNH ANTON QUAN THẦY GIÁO XỨ SONG VĨNH" (Saint Anthony, Patron Saint of Song Vĩnh Parish), and the date "BA-3-2019" (March 3, 2019). The background consists of a substantial grey stone church building, featuring Gothic-revival architectural elements. These include a tall, pointed arched opening to the left, an upper balcony with an ornate white metal railing, and decorative pilasters and corbels on the right wall. Gold Vietnamese text on the right wall reads "LÀM PHÉP & KHÁNH THÀNH / 13/08/2019" (Consecration & Inauguration / August 13, 2019). A small amount of green foliage is visible in the lower right foreground. The scene is brightly lit by natural light. This location is identified as the Song Vĩnh Church (Nhà thờ Song Vĩnh) in Thủ Đức City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
