MomentThis is a medium shot, eye-level, outdoor photograph taken at night of a bronze bust of Stefan George (1868-1933) located in Bingen am Rhein, Germany. The bust is mounted on a large, light-colored concrete pedestal. The pedestal has an inscription that reads "STEFAN GEORGE 1868-1933" in large capital letters. Below this, there is smaller text that reads "Alexander Zschokke, 1857- Bildhauer, Basel 1894-1968N" and then below that "Am 10. Juli 2004 der Stadt Bingen aus dem Nachlass von Karl Schefold, Basel, gestiftet durch seine Söhne." This translates to "Alexander Zschokke, 1857- Sculptor, Basel 1894-1968N" and "On July 10, 2004, the City of Bingen from the estate of Karl Schefold, Basel, donated by his sons." The bust depicts a man wearing a collared shirt and a jacket, with his left hand appearing to hold a book or document. The statue is dark and has a rough, textured finish. The background consists of a light-colored wall with some abstract shapes on it and shadows cast by the statue and an unseen person holding a phone. The ground in front of the pedestal is paved with hexagonal stones. The lighting suggests artificial illumination from above, casting strong shadows. The overall scene is stark and solemn.
