low-angle view of a sculpture in front of a building with classical architecture. The sculpture features a central standing figure, possibly female, draped in robes, holding a large lamp post that extends upwards. To the left of the central figure is a smaller sculpture of a cherubic child holding what appears to be a staff or club. To the right of the central figure is another smaller sculpture of a cherubic child, with its hands raised to its head. The figures are made of weathered stone, showing signs of age and some green patina. Behind the sculpture is a large, imposing building with a red brick facade and a prominent colonnade of Corinthian columns. The building has arched windows and decorative friezes. The sky above is overcast with white clouds. This sculpture and building are located at Sanssouci Palace, in Potsdam, Germany. Specifically, this is likely the sculpture group located in front of the New Wing of Sanssouci Palace. The New Wing was built between 1787 and 1792 as an extension to the palace.
