A colour photograph in portrait orientation of the interior of the church of St Madelaine in Paris. The church is baroque in style, and heavily decorated. At the top of the picture is the main dome of the church, containing a round window at its summit, and decorated with a repeated pattern of of decreasing circles. The dome is supported on arches, one to the rear over the apse (in the centre of the picture) and one on each side. Beneath the main arch, the apse is decorated by a painting on the curved ceiling of another dome. The painting shows a detailed biblical crowd scene, possibly the sermon on the mount. Beneath the painted dome is a band relief of many people, possibly saints. In the apse is an altar, decorated with a detail baroque scuplture of Christ.
