The image shows a bronze equestrian statue of General Lafayette mounted on a rearing horse, situated on a stone pedestal. To the left of the statue is the Washington Monument in Baltimore. In the background, part of a church with a tall spire is visible under a blue sky with some clouds. The angle of the photograph appears to be looking up from ground level.
