This image depicts a bronze statue of Aphra Behn, a playwright, poet, and spy, situated in front of The Beaney Institute in Canterbury, United Kingdom. The statue, a life-sized representation of a woman in 17th-century attire, stands on a cobblestone pavement. Aphra Behn is shown holding an open book in her left hand and looking upwards with a pensive expression. Her right hand rests on the book. The statue's lower half is a long, flowing skirt, and a decorative pouch is attached to her waist. A plume feather and a rose are also depicted on her attire. Behind the statue, the facade of The Beaney Institute is visible, constructed with red brick. Above the statue, a plaque reads "THE BEANEY INSTITUTE THIS STONE WAS LAID BY GEORGE COLLARD J.P. MAYOR OF CANTERBURY 16TH SEPT 1907." Large windows with the words "FREE ENTRY" and "MUSEUM" are also visible on the building's exterior. A decorative dark grey drainpipe with an intricate pattern runs vertically along the left side of the building. The ground is paved with various stone and cobblestone patterns. The overall scene is bathed in sunlight, casting distinct shadows from the statue and other elements.
