This image depicts the Swordsman Fountain (Fontanna Szermierza) located in front of the main Baroque-style building of the University of Wrocław in Wrocław, Poland. The scene is set on a sunny day, with distinct shadows cast across the architectural elements. A multi-tiered fountain of light-colored stone occupies the center-foreground. Its lowest visible basin is partially filled with water. Above this, a sculpted pedestal features allegorical figures supporting an ornate, shell-shaped upper basin, from which multiple thin streams of water flow into the lower pool. Perched atop a central pedestal within the upper basin is a nude male statue, likely bronze due to its green patina. The figure stands in a relaxed pose, holding a downward-pointing sword or rapier in its right hand. The background is dominated by the pale yellow facade of the university building, characterized by grey stone-colored architectural trim. The building exhibits Baroque design elements, including ornate window frames, cornices, and decorative stucco patterns on its walls. Multiple tall, rectangular windows with dark frames and multi-pane glass are visible, reflecting a bright, cloudy sky. Some lower windows are secured with black metal grilles. In the lower right corner of the frame, a young child, dressed in a blue and white striped shirt, sunglasses, and a white baseball cap, stands beside the fountain's lower basin. The child's hands are near the water, and their gaze is directed towards the left, possibly at the statue or the flowing water. The ground in the foreground is paved with light-colored stone.
