This is a black and white photograph of a relief sculpture depicting a busy urban scene with multiple figures. The sculpture is mounted on a brick wall. Above the figures, there are representations of buildings with visible windows. Below the figures, there is a tiled or brick-like base.

The sculpture itself shows several people engaged in various activities. On the left, a person is seated at a table, seemingly working on something. To their right, another figure stands over them. Further to the right, a group of four figures are standing together. One of them is holding a book or similar object. In the foreground, there are more figures and objects, including what appears to be a cart with wheels and possibly tools. The overall impression is one of community and activity.

The sculpture has an inscription at the top which reads "Vel Hüsung bricht diege Stoe." The inscription appears to be in German.

The sculpture is located on the exterior of a building in the city of Dresden, Germany. Specifically, it is part of the "Wohnhaus für Angehörige der Deutschen Lufthansa" (Residential building for members of the German Lufthansa) located at Würzburger Straße 1-5, 01157 Dresden. This sculpture is one of several that adorn the building, which was designed by architects Kurt Bär and Kurt Rödenbeck. The specific artwork shown is titled "Die Fabrik" (The Factory) and was created by the sculptor Walter Zirpins in 1929.
