The image displays a close-up, upward-angled view of two dark grey, polished granite statues of Atlantes, forming part of the Portico of the New Hermitage on Palace Embankment in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The muscular, semi-nude male figures are depicted from mid-torso downwards, each wearing a textured loincloth. They stand with their backs against a central column, arms raised overhead, supporting a massive entablature or roof section, partially visible at the top of the frame. Their heads are bowed under the apparent burden. The background consists of a clear, vibrant blue sky. To the right, a multi-story building with a light peach-colored, rusticated facade is visible, featuring arched windows with dark grilles and decorative cornices. To the left and further back, a bright yellow building with white trim and numerous windows is present. A bearded man in a dark jacket is partially visible on a pavement in the lower left foreground. Two distant figures are discernible near the base of the peach-colored building on the right. Overhead wires are visible against the sky.
