A stone sphinx statue stands illuminated by artificial light against a twilight sky in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The sphinx, depicted in a seated position with a human-like face wearing a pharaonic headdress, is adorned with hieroglyphic inscriptions on its pedestal. A person, viewed from behind and in profile, stands to the left of the statue, their head and shoulders visible. The statue is situated on a granite plinth, and further inscriptions are visible on the plinth's facade. In the background, silhouetted industrial cranes are discernible against the fading light.
