Winged lion and figures flank pillars on Doge's Palace pediment.
A low-angle view of the pedimental sculptures on the Doge's Palace near the top of the building. In the middle of the top of the image is a sculpture of a lion with wings facing the left side of the image as its head is turned left, looking forward. To the left of the lion sculpture is a sculpture of a man wearing a robe facing the right side of the image as he looks directly at the lion. The man and the lion are placed on a platform. To the left of the man and the right of the lion is a pillar that extends along the side of the building, inside each pillar next to both sculptures is a sculpture of two small people. Both people are posing with one of their hands held near their shoulder. Below the sculpture of the man and the lion is a window that comes up to an arch. On both sides of the window in the pillars are two more sculptures of small people, the person on the right is holding a staff on the right side of his body with his left hand as he places the other end of the staff on the surface. The person on the left is holding a piece of cloth in their left hand. On top of the building at the top of the image is a larger sculpture of a person wearing a robe with their left hand held over their chest. The person's head is turned slightly toward the right side of the image. The sky extending across the top of the image is clear blue with no visible cloud coverage.
